I agree with you Mojavegreen. It was a Huge mistake for the US to go into Iraq. For sure, we have stirred up terrorist fervor like never before, and, this boondoggle is running up incomprehensible debt for the US. Just think of what positive things could have been accomplished in america, with those enormous amounts of human energy, and cash expenditures, if it had been put towards the goal of our nation, doing what it can, to devolop sustainable energy solutions. But in reality, the Dogs Of War, with thier military machine, have other global agenda's in mind, that have nothing to do with sustainable societies, or equal sharing of energy riches by all.
