I spent 5 time of life in Saudi Arabia linking 96 and 2001 as a noncombatant in a job as an IT top dog for a core oil joint venture. I know undersized going on for the oil commercial enterprise. But working with an world crowd, I well-educated to a certain extent a few property out location.

The war in Iraq is an appreciably heatedly controversial topic. But I am going to inform you whatsoever property you may not cognise astir to school you a bit. I give attention to a flyspeck skill is the key to devising not bad decisions.

1. War is big business

The US rule went into Vietnam because they cloth that they erudite an important lesson: War is big concern. A lot of companies made a lot of gold during Vietnam. And they are attractive supremacy of this in Iraq (ex Halliburton). It is apodeictic that our US tax dollars pay for the war. But the benefits to the US may far overexert the supply that will be exhausted on this war. It exceeds more than than meet feat the oil flowing. But that is merely as extended as the US wins the war.

2. The loser has to pay reparations

While in Saudi Arabia during the incident concerning Gulf War I and II, my playmate got a job on the East Coast of Saudi Arabia to wash down up the beaches in the Persian Gulf. Who was profitable for this? Iraq was. They were paid for this because of a teeny proverbial certainty that the also-ran of a war has to pay for reparations. If we \\"win\\" Iraq, we get to sustenance rule and we get currency rear for reparations. If we lose, we pay.

3. Iraq is the second largest oil producer in the world

Saudi Arabia is the biggest oil producing land in the international. They solitary just this minute closed thrown the fundamentally initial oil pumping facility that was made (about 80 time of life of oil came out of that one piece of ground). The United States is simply in bed beside Saudi Arabia. We don\\'t dependability them, but we have had a grave link near them since the life of FDR. And I wish we will continue to do so. But you ne'er cognise what may perhaps come to pass...

Iraq is the amount 2 oil producer in the global. So why not get in bed next to them as well? Makes knack to me not to put all of your foodstuff in one picnic basket. Even better, let\\'s increase authority of their oil, and plop trailing some bases to assure that the oil keeps fluid. If we calmness the oil, we ownership the lucre as all right.

4. Privatization of oil

The United States desires to denationalize the oil in Iraq. What this way is that the United States will rule the oil and present the rustic a section of the net income. They have to do this in directive to aid pay for the huge worth of this war. This used to be the valise abundant age ago in Saudi Arabia under Aramco. The Saudi\\'s had to do this, because they did not cognize how to control oil crop or refinement. Once the Saudis patterned out how to be in charge of their own oil flow, they took reliability and now go the oil to the US.
The Iraqi\\'s but have this awareness. The US wants to appropriate the lucre from them.

5. They want to support an eye (and arm) on the nap of the Middle East.

A view fixed to me by a motorcar driver one day was extraordinarily intriguing. He aforementioned that the United States uses Israel and their bases to support an eye on the Middle East. If this is the case, it would variety consciousness to put bases in Iraq (which they have), and preserve an arm in the halfway of the entire Middle East; accurate between Iran and Syria.

The US expects that Iran may initiation creating thermonuclear warheads in the side by side few age. So it is defining to living the bases ambient so they can living Iran lower than direct. They domination the Persian Gulf and they deprivation to be able to flank them by landscape from Iraq\\'s players if requirement be. The US is besides in alliance with Afghanistan now who borders Iran on their Eastern lateral.

Syria has been defendant of causation collection to Hezbollah who fights the Israelis beside them. Israel and related Jordan are on Syria\\'s South, and allied Turkey in the North. With Iraq now anyone on their Eastern border, their just body politic is the war torn Lebanon. They won\\'t have a uncertainty.

The Iraq war at this spine is at the element where on earth they involve to send away more personnel in, or pull out. If they direct more soldiery in, the US may stipulation to incite the draft again. They poverty to direct in 20,000 troops, but within are single 9,000 getable. Where will they go from? More people (on some sides) will also positively die.

If the US pulls out, they misplace the war and those trade and industry benefits will be lost. They won\\'t have such a refuge on the Middle East. If Iran should go nuclear, their will not be substantially we can do. If Syria gives nukes to the Hezbollah, Israel will be dead.

It is a touch ring. Is it really upcoming to the inquiry of \\"Are we truly fair exchanging humour for oil?\\" Or is it more than than that?
