This is going to be interesting to watch because the current Iraqi government has been ranting for a few months now, how in 2 years the troops should be down to nothing in that country. Everytime they say it, our current leaders down play it with "well have to see what happens then". The Iraqi leaders are not stupid clones our government has put in place. They are saying 2 years for a reason. Two years, new leader who will most likly win under the pretense of getting the troops out of war. But we can all bet that the current government is working very very hard to infuse companies in that country with so much money they take control over the oil. I see this turning into the same thing in South America, where Exxon and a few other mammoth companies had control of their oil. I forgot the countries name but they have a new leader who has basicly told the oil companies they either give 60% of their profit to the country or get out. If they don't get out the military will take control over your drilling operations. I see Iraq pulling something like that 10 years from now, when oil is $500 a barrel. And their economy is just been fully raped to the point were people have no way of ever getting ahead.

I'm anti-ignorance, a plauge that seems to be affecting more and more these days. It is a case of the blind leading the blind. The party is irrelevant, it is the final outcome that matters.

Games are for children, yet politicians play them everyday; they realize that there are many fools who will listen and believe their lies, time and time again, so they continue to tell them.

They dabble in machiavellianism, but cry foul when others do the same. Wanna play hardball? let's play.

Maybe they should make it an offence to create dumb laws, something like how they are trying to rein in those who file stupid lawsuits.
