Our being in Iraq is not in any way determining the timeline for the next attack. On the contrary, our divide with the Arab counties grow deeper with every day we remain in Iraq.

As we all know, Iraq is the seat of Arabic culture. The US invasion of Iraq destroyed numerous Arabic historical artifacts in their museums. But during the Iraqi invasion, the US army planned to protect the oilfields and not the museums which housed Arabic pride. This is certainly very offensive to the Arab world and we wonder why they are raising the price of oil on us. The price of oil is very political and I refuse to accept all the theories of supply and demand that is being propagandized by our Govt.
