you guys overlook the central cause for war -- ECONOMICS sure, the need for oil is everpresent and energy sources are at risk but this soon will be about deteriorating economics few realize that WW2 started with horrible economic conditions during the painful stages of the last K-Winter USA coming out of Depression Europe coming out of post-WW1 (more painful to them) Germany coming out of Hyper-Inflation during Weimar Republic we in the USA dont seem to realize that we are repeating the same currency destruction at the Weimar Republic pulled off in 1920's Germany weak economy external threats heavy debts print money like newspapers before long we will need wheelbarrows or as Jimi Rogers called it, "wheelbarrels" maybe we wont need carts to carry money but we will see the absolute worst form of price inflation PRODUCTION COST RISING amidst zero pricing power such conditions totally wreck job security, incomes, etc these are the motivations for war you guys are way too rational you miss the main point FIX THE ECONOMY, LET IT FIX ITSELF THRU RECESSION OR GO TO WAR, AS BLAME IS PLACE EXTERNALLY we dont look with introspection and when we do, we use distorted Keynesian Monetarist lenses we conclude "we need more liquidity" it is precisely this uncontrolled flow of liquidity (no basis in sound money) that has produced such economic quicksand and wrought such economic destruction with far more destruction upcoming just when the numbnuts expect a recovery in fact, they actually believe we are in recovery now what a harsh splash of cold water coming, as recession tightens the blame will be placed on Iraq, and Islamic oil price gougers !!! hmmm, maybe Venezuela is another gouger??? where are the clueless children whom we call ENVIRONMENTALISTS now??? / jim
