Hmm where shall I start? Lets start with the Iraq Oil Law. The US is trying to rush it through.

You're making it up as you go along. The oil law hasn't even passed, and you haven't even explained how it is in US interests and against Iraqi interests. Remember, increasing Iraqi oil production is good for everyone on the planet, especially Iraqis if they can make good use of the oil revenues. Incentiving oil companies with fat profit margins and long term contracts encourages them to invest in Iraq, which translates to more production and more revenues.

On the surface it looks like the Iraqis are making the decisions, however those decisions are handed to them by the US administration.

And the ghosts come out at night and the Cubans killed JFK. You're making yourself look silly now. Do you agree with Ajimenidad that there are no gays in Iran?

Saying that people are responsible for the decisions that they make in life is not a judgement of mine. It's a commonly accepted principle for anyone who accepts the idea of personal responsibility.
You are casting judgment with no regards to any circumstances.


?? What judgement is cast by saying people are responsible for their own decisions? The Iraqi who blows up young Iraqi police recruits is responsible for their deaths and is a contributor to the unstable situation in Iraq. The Iraqi who decides instead to drive a cab and support his family is not responsible for the deaths of the recruits, and is contributing to stability in Iraq. Why are those blatantly obvious statements not obvious to you?
