Re: Loser pays the bill, double or quits

They *are* being really open about it. I saw Bush on TV doing a speech to a bunch of US soldiers just off to the Gulf (not that the war is definite, oh no).

He didn't talk of 'threats to the American people' or 'threats to bomb American cities', but 'threats to the American way of life'; ie cheap oil.

I'm slightly paraphrasing, but he said, 'there are threats to the American way of life, and we will not flinch from defeating them. And we will prevail, because America has the finest military in the world'.

Translated: we want loads of oil, and now it turns out nowhere's got much left except the middle east. So we're gonna go and take their oil. Whether it's fair or not isn't the issue; we've got the most guns so we'll just do what we want and fuck the rest of the world.
