But then again they should be careful about moral transgressions.. coz u must understand that the rules of this NEW FOUND religion haven't been put down clearly... and religion is generally based on a set of well defined rules.
And if it starts to impose this ill-defined religion on other countries.. do u think they r gonna buy it??

the rule is money at all costs.
they arent going to buy it, until they've been sufficiently corrupted enough.
if iraq becomes a 'free' state in the middle of the middle east, and is prosperous and wealthy (and full of vices)
the neighboring citizens will want to live like this too eventually.
hurrah for capitalism!

I have always maintatined that all changes brought abt in a society need to be gradual.. a sudden change may only lead in to derioration and chaos... We have enough of experiences of it stating various revolutions.. They were bloody and long and by the time they ended imposing their own "ism" they have caused irrepairable changes to society...
Morover this revolution viz. "american" does not enjoy a popular support that was enjoyed by many other revolutions that have succeeded before.. and if the "American govt." wants to remove a percieved "Hell" and reimpose a "Heaven", in face of this public outcry.. they r going to put up a very poor show...

:oI hope this was just a loud passing thought.. coz u can't be serious abt it.. IF IRAQ becomes a free state.. u can be sure that it has been strippped of all its resources which have been siphoned away to fill the american coffers.. And if u seem to have forgotten the state of India when the Britishers left it or for that matter if u remember the state of the colonies when their left it.. I think only the Boot-lickers or the Sycophants of the ruling regime will end up being rich..
And I don't think any other Neighboring country will want to become "free' after that...
Don Seer:
whichever way.. whether the 'grass is greener' thing works (which really i think its western arrogance in someways) its introduced a lack of stability, and given the US a probably permanent power base in the middle east.
the US controlling the price of iraqi oil means the other nations will have to change to reflect/match those.. also.. i saw some things a while back about a switch from middle eastern oil to russian oil.
in the end whichever way it seems the ultimate goal is the distruption of saudi power.
Eidolon_Ravi:
Well that's exactly the whole Idea I s'pose...
unless they find an alternative fuel in teh near future... which seems to be highly improbable at this stage!! ;D
I also s'pose the Us realisess that this sudden compassion for the Iraqis is going to be a temporary passing phase.. and once the detractors are provided juicy contracts it's going to be a cakewalk for them all teh way.. a recent example is taht of japan which after maintaining a 50 yr old policy of total peace and non-interference has suddenly jumped into the league of nations patrolling the Iraqi soil..
And as they Say " Principles are Rules of Convenience "

other religions are fine as long as they dont question this.
striking the WTC is the ultimate rebellion against this is it not?

Man, fuck you. I don't worship Money, I worship freedom. I'm capitalist, but I don't worship money at any price. I'd rather be a bum in America then a prince in a dictatorship.
