How many millions did the freedom WWII bought cost?[/QUOTE
You cannot compare hitlers germany with todays iraq. Not possible.
One had the most fearful, powerful military of the time, plus conquered many nations in a bid for the third reich.. not to mention the extermination of 5 million + jews around europe.
the other....
some fool who was trained by, and supported by the US government for many years ( Iraq-Iran War ) whose major fault was to turn against the same people that provided him with military resources ( the us ) hence , no longer usable, was deemed a national threat to the U.S and needed to be taken off power.
If the US did care about democracy etc.. have a look at cuba. for many decaded its people has been living in hell.. yet, the us doesnt care. Cuba doesnt sit on oil, so it doesnt matter. On the other hand, venezuela does.. hmmmmmm
Another thing to keep in perspective.
There has been rumour going around that in the amazon theres suppose to be a nest of osama bin ladden eveil terrorist terror cell. Now venezuela is acting up. Some fool cries the killing of a democratic elected, president...
hmmm could it be that the elite are trying the waters to see how people could react in an event of an invasion to sieze south america resources. Of course even dubya is smart enough to know not to bark such orders.. not yet.. so what do they do? they use an ignorant fool like pat as a mouth piece.. if all hell breaks loose they can just ignore it as the town fool would take all the blame for it........ before china buys it all?
I have said it before and will say it again.
Theres no such thing as war on terror.
Theres no such thing as exporting democracy.
This is all about sezing up natural resources around the globe. Setting up military bases in key points of the world. About looking after the US own finacial and military bases around the world.
Everyone knows that a nuclear war is a pretty foolish thing to do. You can however halt a war machine by simply denying it energy resources. You can practically destroy a nation by denying it energy as well. You can destroy its economy. Everything is based pretty well on the price of the crude. Crude goes up.. everythign else goes up.. its a chain reaction.
If you install military commandos or puppet governments in key points around the world, you can then maxize your profit, and military potential. This is what the US has in mind . The masses of course believe that the war being fought is being done to protect your way of life.
