Coveting Their Things (like OIL)
When the first George Bush, who was just as much a butcher of lives and war criminal as his son, ordered the bombing of Baghdad it was not because Saddam Hussein persecuted his people and it wasn't because Hussein invaded Kuwait which Iraqis have always considered part of Iraq and was carved up by the British for colonial and political reasons. It was because George Bush was aware of the peak of oil and depletion and Iraq has oil. With oil running out because there is a finite amount of it left we may not have to worry so much about man-made global warming from burning fossil fuel, if there is no fossil fuel to burn (whatever happens first). If the predictions are correct global warming will become much worse before all the oil is gone. We're running out of oil but we're also running out of water. Global warming is drying up whole regions where before there was plush vegetation. There will be catastrophic consequences for impoverished populations. We use more oil than the U.S. can continue to extract. And for that reason Iraq is important to George HW Bush and George W. Bush. They would say it is important to U.S. national security. It is thought that there are oil reserves off the coast of North Korea which makes that area also interesting to the U.S. New oil is cheaper to extract but as we use it up it gets harder to get out of the ground and becomes more expensive so there is always a need to find more oil and control the oil that is already being extracted.
