I just realised that I haven't been blogging about politics for some time as I was busy putting up and dedicating videos of hot women. Both women and men have certainly feasted their eyes on the music videos and have throughly appreciated it. You can't stop checking out Beyonce or Shakira from head to toe or try to get the music videos out of your head. However, my dear readers and loyal friends need to know that I'm a man of balance and I seek a right mix of serious and fun issues. I hope i don't sound sophisticated and if i do, I'm sorry about that. Talking about sophisticated issues, I would like to give my two cents worth of opinion on the Iraq issue as it seems a bit complicated and I would like to tell my version of the Iraq story
Not again. I have read the opinion columns, editors' column, internet listings, magazines and I'm sick of the issue as some of you all might feel but the Iraq issue is indeed a very interesting topic. For those of you guys who are not sure what i'm talking about, it's the invasion of Iraq by America. Mr George Bush, the American president felt that Iraq was building weapons of mass destruction or had weapons of mass destruction(WMD) capable of destroying the world and he was concerned for the safety of Israel, America and the world as he felt that Saddam Hussein was capable of using these weapons of mass destruction to destroy the world.
Saddam Hussein was the notorious guy who invaded Kuwait in 1991 and was guilty of gassing the Kurds and Mr Bush felt that Saddam was capable of more ruthless stuff if he can do such heinous stuff earlier in his power. We can say that the US attack was a preempt attack to prevent Saddam Hussein from using WMD. The no 1 question is why will America attack Iraq.
Firstly, we should never totally believe politicians as they are political people(pardon the lameness) and they can't be expected to furnish the public with the complete truth. In 1991, America helped Kuwait to overcome the Iraq invaders and Desert Storm was a victory for America. If Kuwait was a land of sand and no worth, I doubt America will have entered the 1991 war. Kuwait is a oil-rich country and America had to gain a lot if Kuwait was under their control instead of our friend, Saddam Hussein. I disagree with Bush to a certain extent that the main reason for attacking Iraq was that they had WMD and they had to stop the misuse of it and I personally feel it was one of the lesser reasons. In that case, America should have attacked our troublesome friends, North Korea and Iran as they are also capable of launching their WMD and their leaders are quite unpredictable as well.

Secondly, America seems to want a regime change in Iraq as Saddam is a dictator and has been ruthless and so America is doing the Iraqis a favour. If America really wants to play good brother, they should have assisted in changing the regimes of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan(military regime) and many more corrupt regimes but instead they chose not to as these regimes were favourable to them. I won't totally agree that Mr George Bush was a liberator of Iraq.
The reason why America attacked Iraq is simple-it was the oil. I know you guys will be thinking..duhhh..I will like to explain the explanation behind the America attack based on the oil concept. America consumes 20 million barrels of oil a day and they have a reserves of 20 billion barrels of oil and if there was a war and the oil production/exports were to stop, the reserves will last America for maximum 3 years. America has the Saudi and Kuwait oil to meet part of the demand but America still need to meet its daily demand and the next oil rich country is Iraq and our dear Saddam is not kind and friendly enough to sell oil and America knows that if they can't confirm the supply of Iraqi oil, they are in deep shit and they can't continue to use their reserve oil as it's saved for a rainy day considering the fact that America has made more enemies than friends these days.
This oil reason clearly shows that our friend Bush should not be totally trusted to deliver the truth and America has a lot to gain as the military expenditures and losses are incomparable to the massive economic gains they will later gain Regime change and WMD were also part of why America wanted to attack Iraq. America has and always will enter a war or poke its nose if it has something to gain. Personally, i'm divided over the oil issue as i would not know what I would have done if I were in Mr Bush's shoes.
