3000 dead

I just got the news that the 3,000 th American Soldier died in Iraq fighting for the glory of Who?The only clear winner is Halliburton and other friends of George Bush.

Clearly, there was no legitimate purpose for this war. There was no US national interest involved. There were no illegal weapons to make a self defense claim, no connection to 9-11 to even make a revenge claim.

We can only guess about the thought processes of the idiot in the White House. He is probably just following the directions of some cold blooded plotter whose intent was to get rich. Surely the war has disrupted the world oil market and raised the price of oil for ALL suppliers. Domestic suppliers have won the oil lottery.

How does anyone's personal financial gain justify 3000 American dead, at least half a million Iraqi dead and the waste of a trillion dollars or so?

How will history report this war? Where will the worst long term affects be felt? I think that it will be in the economics. The huge debt that the Federal government is assuming to pay for this fiasco will burden our people for generations. I can conceivably bring down the dollar and create economic devastation such as this nation has never seen.

The economics will take precedence because that is what we will know about. We wont know about the people killed who might have done great things for the world.
