all political motives in place: Repeat of Versailles Errors

back in 1920, Western Powers hated Germany, wanted to punish them, and didnt want to pay for reconstruction of a land whose leaders caused a painful world war

now in 2003, German & French & Russian interests are at odds with paying for the reconstruction of a land whose brutal dictator (compared to Hitler and Stalin) caused a great deal of pain and disruption

this morning Robert Hormats of Goldman Sucks outlined a prescription for disaster on CNBC in a brief interview, whereby he detailed $350 billion in costs, $70B in current debts to Europe, and the need for the G7 leaders to avoid a Versailles Disaster

all the political motives are in place to repeat it
French have debts from chemical plants and weapons grade plutonium
German have debts from chemical plants
Russia have debts from military and oilfield gear
none of the three nations will want to pay for further reconstruction of Iraq, after getting screwed on current debts, and ESPECIALLY after the war was prosecuted without their sanction

a terrible foundation for the war, now leads to a terrible foundation for the finances of reconstruction

congratulations Bushy, Rummy, and HalleyCheney
the world is watching the corrupt "no open bid process" behind the Halliburton corrupt contracts

failure in Versailles led to WW2
failure in Iraqi Versailles will lead to WW3 escalation, since WW3 has already started

over a week ago my Paki buddy Ahmad warned "watch out for Syria, which the USA will attack next"
since then, Syria has been specially cited in numerous news releases and press conferences
right on, Ahmad
he also warned of assassination of Paki's dictator Mushareef, which will open the door to an Islamic Nuke
