>>oil belongs to the people<<

...name me a single country on the planet -- where the OIL belongs to the people?

Every place I've checked it is owned/monopolized by one, maybe two or three big corporate operators.

Not curious at all. Those are excellent companies with superb technical skills and proven management. I'm glad the Administration already has experience and confidence in them. Far better to use American companies than those from the "unwilling."

And no, the Iraqi people should not be deciding who they want to hire RIGHT NOW for the simple reason that they can't. Get the country up and running, basic services installed, an interim government operating, and THEN the Iraqi people will not only be able to hire who they want, they'll be able to run their own country without interference from us, the UN, or anyone else.

Anyone who questions anything about this administration is a "questioner" or "sceptic." Anyone who knowingly aids or abets a sworn enemy of the US or advocates the VIOLENT overthrow of the government could probably be considered a traitor.

Which category do you fall into?--MK--

Iraqis should just sit back and do what they're told until we can straighten out their mess. They should stop looting and robbing banks and beating each other up. The religious zealots ought to go back to their mosques and let us set up a government that will let them worship freely without imposing their beliefs on others. And they should all thank George Bush for freeing them from rape rooms, torture chambers and kiddie prisons.
