IndyMedia makes good points, but I reject methods

we will never control Iraqi oil, period, end of story
if we occupy their oilfields, and attempt to usurp its oil revenues, then all hell will break loose within the Arab world

first of all, Iraqi oilfields need several $Billion in order to prepare for revamped production

second, if we create an Iraqi People Trust Fund, then we had better manage it very properly
any departures will invite extreme reactions and resentment

some Christian Prophesy students open discuss New Babylon
last year I thought such declarations were ridiculous
I doubt it could happen without broad UN and European support

I believe that if we attempt to usurp Iraqi oil revenue, the explosive response will shock the world, with numerous Islamic oil producing nations giving US investments a severe backlash
our seizures of Iraq will bring about a clear united front by Islamics against the USA and its financial hegemony
the USdollar will be its united target
the IndyMedia didnt seem to challenge the likelihood of failure much
