Don't you think that as the conquerer of a country the conquerer has a right to that countries resources? At a minimum do you not think that the winning party should be able to utilize the fallen countries assests to recoup war costs of the conquerer. Why then are we not shipping every ounce of oil out of Iraq into our own economy? Wheteher or not you believe the war in Iraq was right or wrong the fact of the matter is we are now the occupiers and Iraq is essentially a terrritory of the United States. I want all of my taxes back that were spent on the war. You can just pay me back with barrells of oil. My taxes helped fund this War I expect to be repaid. I see it as an investment. I invested my taxes in support of the war on Iraq. As such an investor I demand a return on my investment.
