    The End Of Civilization

    I had a mild epiphany the other day: itÕs not President Bush whoÕs living in a fantasy world, itÕs most of his critics who are. IÕm no apologist for Bush Ð I neither like nor dislike him. HeÕs no more significant to me than a fly buzzing around outside my window. So permit me to explain my reasoning.

    People look at BushÕs invasion of Iraq and see a miserable failure. But a failure to do what? Democratize Iraq? Eliminate IraqÕs WMD arsenal? Reduce global terrorism? If those were, in fact, the reasons for invading Iraq, then the invasion would have to be classified as a failure. But what if the real reason was to secure IraqÕs oil supplies, perhaps not for immediate use, and perhaps not even for use by the United States? Then the invasion of Iraq would have to be judged a success, a Òmission accomplished,Ó so to speak.

    To some extent I would agree with you, and I think it will strengthen your case to read this Life after The Oil Crash
    I was totally opposed to the war in Iraq, but now I am not too sure if it is right to oppose it. According to Life After The Oil Crash the Iraq war really is about the survival of the west, but not linked to any christan v's Islam concept - this is the real ecconomics of the 21st century. I know what you mean about wondering if Bush is right or not - I am at that stage too
