Wake up man. You really think the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is a war on terror? That is bollocks. 9/11 gave the US an excuse to get into the middle east. What does the middle east have that the US would benefit from? Oil. You have got to realise that there are many people and many corporations that profit from war big time.

If brocolli was Iraq's main export we wouldn't be there.

Think about it. Who REALLY benefited from 9/11? The Middle East is in turmoil. What you dont hear on the news is the�MILLIONS of innocent civilians that have been pointlessly murdered as a result of the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Afghanistan does not have any oil.
The USA is the 3rd largest iol prudcers in the world.
Iraq is the 14th largest oil producer in the world.
Millions of people have NOT been killed in Iraq & Afghanistan. Thousands perhaps.
Get your facts right.
Iraq's the 12th largest producer of oil currently.
But in itself, that doesn't mean much - the critical issue is who has the most proven oil reserves. And the reality is that over half of the proven oil reserves are in the Middle East - Iraq's contribution to that is just over 8% of all the world's available reserves, but it's still much more than the less than 1.5% that the US has. Given that the US is easily the largest oil consumer in the world, it'd be foolish not to think that US interest in the Middle East is at least partly driven by the oil issue.
