Now THIS is absoloutely ludicrous
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2943833.stm
Read the VERY last sentence.
"Ive come into your country with a huge armed force. Ive killed thousands of your citizens. Ive destroyed a huge part of your infrastructure, which through various embargos, id damaged beyond recognition previously anyway, and now , id like some compensation for you MAKING me do this".
If the US gets a single ****ing penny out of Iraq for "Liberating" it , theres absolutely no ****ing justice in this world. That would be a signal to everyone , everywhere , that you can invade a nation and take its wealth.
The country owes $100 billion already. The Kuwaities are demanding compensation , the Saudis , The Israelis , and now even the ****ing yanks.
Utter Disgust is the only way i can phrase my opinion on this.

Well, if they use this cash to finance the carpet bombing of France, Germany or Turkey, then I am all for it.

Better buy stocks in bottled water while they're still cheap.

Free until the next Dictator comes along, or the next near neighbour invades.

Their is no mention of taking money belonging to Iraq to pay for the war or anything like that at all.
What they are doing is imho common sense.

looking for the money so it can be used by the Iraqis is common sense, demanding a share of it to cover war costs isnt.

This war is causing far too much International tension. Iraq should have been left as it is.

The US wants any non-US country to forgive any debt the Iraqi nation owes them. They also want Iraq to pay them alot of money and resources. It all makes perfect sense to me. The US wants to secure their position as supreme power of the planet, and do it by using what power they already have to limit any competitors power relative to the US.
Someone standing up to them? HAH! Noone has the power, and noone has the will.
