How about if Iraq is in any way involved with these attacks, the United States invades and occupies that country, taking 90% of its oil production for the next twenty-five years in reparations for what was done. That would teach the terrorists a little lesson in American resolve and power. Also, adios OPEC. Iraq is sitting on 11% of the world's known oil reserves, second only to Saudi Arabia's 25%. Occupy that country and oil will drop to fifty cents a barrel. Perhaps it is time. The financial drain on the world economy sending hundreds of billions of dollars each year to a region of despotic, human-rights-violating, corrupt tyrants who have done little more in the past hundred years than win the geographical lottery - it's time to end this right about now.

In my opinion, I am convinced Iraq is involved, and I hope the U.S. does occupy Iraq and claim oil for reparations - for the cost of these attacks and also "punitive damages", you might say.
