Arab Oil & USA
by Amazing incontrary to some beliefs, neither the usa nor european nations forcibly takes oil from the arabs.
rather, the arabs wanted to sell their oil because it is about the only natural resource that they have to make a lot of money and improve their lot in life.
for example, saudi arabia invited american companies in, such as bechtel corporation ( i used to work for them in their power division) ... and made contracts with private businesses to build cities, oil pumping rigs, transportation systems, and the infrastructure to deliver the oil to the world market ... a market that europe and the americas tap into to buy oil.

To Amazing and Others re Iraq
by Defender inin reply to your posts below, i thought a new post is merited.
it is really outstanding the transformation of persons who were associated with jws from neutral subjects to outright warmongers, especially those who used to profess brotherhood with christ.
while everyone is entitled to their opinions on matters of world politics, but to foster and promote bloodshed and destruction in the name of peace and pre-emptive defense runs jarringly against the grain of anything called christian.. .
