quote: ORIGINAL: Vendaval IMO, if the agreement is signed, then Iraq will be on the path to becoming a US territory which would give our government access to the natural resources and the continuing responsibility of military, political and humanitarian assistance. Well who's going to honor it? Not me certainly, you? The American People? They shouldn't be doing things like that on my "behalf."

I agree with you, Popeye. But the list of "military actions" that have battered the American public is a topic for another thread. [;)]

We obviously know that what we do in the world is majorly fucked up! I guess all us thinking people knew this was an imperial war in the first place. The American Empire will eventually go the way of other empires, meanwhile ordinary Americans will have to get used to being hated by the subjugated people in their colonies.

Does anyone think that building 50 bases in Iraq will lessen the hostile feelings towards the west ? I know my answer.

If this does make them an American territory, does that mean that they will be eligible for welfare? Will they have to start paying in SSI? Just curious.

No, Iraq is a colony which means Americans subsidize Iraqis to get their oil. Despite that, they will hate you, even the ones that you bribe, who only pretend to like you but they really like your dollars more, even though they're pissed the dollar is only worth 70% of what it used to a couple of years ago. In their eyes Saddam was probably right in wanting to trade Iraqi oil on euros.

What's the "Rule of Nines" again?
