The angel of death is in the Middle East again to bring destruction of Muslims. So many naive arabs don't realize that. She can be more usefull at home working on anti racism in the U.S. She forgot about her people. She is just a lost cause and too ugly. She was dumped by her boyfriend who was from Qazvin Iran when she was in university. She can't let go. She is a slave of Israel.

God takes sides??  Does he love this country more than his children in IRAN and IRAQ?  He plays FAVORITES?\n\nOMG.  I thought his love was equal!  Hmm, I guess I'm wrong.. \n\nHe's already bombed the Iraqis..  When you say MIDDLE EAST, do you include Israel, too?  \n\nDo you really think he's going to strike out on Iran?  We don't need to when Israel can do it again.\n\nUgh.. my head hurts from stupid questions like yours.

I find it amazing we remove a dictotor from Iraq for violatios against his own people but have done nothing about Zimbabwe, is this because there is no oil there or am i being sceptical.... then there are friends of the West like Saudi Arabia who treat some of their people shamefully, again, is it becuase of oil we over-look this, I can honestly say that the international community looks after it's big western members like USA, England, Germany, France etc... at the expense of real tyrnats and dictators... shame on you is all I can say!

The UAE has had finacial links to certian terriost groups and that concerns the congress. I am in no way advocating that the UAE has close ties to terriost groups, but in time or war it wouldn't be the smartest idea to allow this to happen. The UAE already runs ports in the middle east & orient. If they had our ports, where is the check & balance? If we could ensure that every container was to be x-rayed and checked that arrived on our shores, then there would probably not be a huge issue. Unfortuantly, only about 10% of the containers are checked. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Could be he knows oil supplies are dwindling in Saudi Arabia where he has co-harts. Knew he had to do something to keep up his flow of money to himself and cronies based on oil production and trade. Somehow I think the Saudi's are in on this somewhere.

First of all Bush does not believe in Diplomacy, if he did he would have let the UN finish it's investigation on Iraq! the CIA said the same, among others!!  They found nothing that Bush said that Iraq had! Diplomacy works if you let it, A President should not be able to go to wor for their own reasons! He trys to make Iraq out to be the worst country, which it had problems but what about Saudi Arabia, they are still very cruel to there people yet nothing is done! Pakistan, Iran Korea among others!!It is time for Dems and Repubs to work together not just for there own interests!! Bush wants his way and refuses to listen to the truth, his idea of truth is what he wants to believe not what the facts are!! Bush does not work well with other countries except England which has a record of being controling towards other countries as Bush is!!!

oh buttercup you are so sweet and naive.\n\ndemocracy is not something that can just be transplanted from one region to the other - it doesn't even work in the states effectively so what kind of expectation was that.\n\nthe allies are in iraq to secure long-term oil interests and maintain political power of the world.

Geopolitically the industrialized world is totally dependant on oil from the Middle East.  There is no industrialized nation that does not have in their national interest the seeking of a guarantee that there must be an uninterrupted flow of oil into their nation.  They all hover around the Middle East like moths to a light, ever manipulating, bribing, arming, trading, selling technology, whatever it takes, to buddy up with the Sheiks.  Use simple "rule out" and you find there are many countries with worse dictators and political systems around the world that we have not, or would ever consider invading to "set those people free."  It is  only because there is oil in Iraq that we even know where they are on the map!  It is hard, but it is true.

He has angered westerners because he thinks of Iran's independency. Every thing insulates Iran's resources against westerners' cupidity is "a threat to world peace". Of course the true sentence is "a thread to our interests or cupidity".\nThis is the Bush's sentences: "At the start of 2006, more than half the people of our world live in democratic nations. And we do not forget the other half -- in places like Syria, Burma, Zimbabwe, North Korea, and Iran -- because the demands of justice, and the peace of this world, require their freedom as well."\nYou can find it in this url:\nhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/01/31/sotu.transcript/index.html\nI have a question. Iran is more democratic or Saudi Arabia which its women can not vote or be a lawmaker. Why are not the names of countries like Saudi Arabia in the Bush's speeches????????\nDo not believe in their false pretenses.\nIf you follow westerners and try to please them, they escape. A good example is Turkey. They are like shadow, if you follow them they escape, if you escape they follow you.

What's happening in the Middle East is the continuation of the British imperialist policies of the first half of the XX Century, now carried away by the US government.\nThese policies consist in US support to pro-western, pro-free-market, pro-cheap-oil-contracts arab monarchies and dictatorships (such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Pakistan, etc.), combined with a strict opposition to all arab governments willing to nationalize their own resources and to use them for their countries' benefit. This is seen clearly in the US policy torwards Iraq, in which Saddam Hussein was supported and backed by the US until he nationalized his country's oil companies. Another example is the coup d'etat orchestrated by the US against the Irani prime minister Mossadegh in 1953, which led to him being replaced by the dictatorial and brutal Shah.\n\nThese hypocritical and imperialist policies are the same that have ruled over the entire Middle East ever since the end of WWI, and whose only aim has been to secure western bussiness interests at the expense of the welfare of the Arab peoples.

There are a lot of events in the Middle East which cause oil prices hit the psychological level of 70 dollars .the main reason is \n"Geopolitics are riding the price" on the concern that Iran s nuclear row with U.S.  oil exports from the world s fouth-largest producer and as a major Nigerian supply outage dragged into a third month .stressing that there was no shortage of crude in the market . As there would not be any supply disruption from iran which pumps around 5 percent of the world oil.And who must take blame for that? its sure thats Bush!
