US plans military rule and occupation of Iraq
Here's a background to the US military buildup in the region here.
Hopefully, the inhabitanbts of the middle east will see this as the generous reaching out of a concerned democratic power and not a blatant grab for oil. Otherwise we could be in for a lot more terrorism eh? Still, cheney and bush no doubt will make a few $billion via their oil interests.

hey you know you can run your car on vegetable oil? You can even use old chip/frying oil from restaurants.. just filter it and off you go...
There's this guy in the uk that collects it from restaurants (for free), filters it and runs his diesel car on it, the conversion kit costs 300 quid ($450)
Sounds great except your car smells like a chip shop... hahaha

"If we were the British in the 1700s and 1800s presiding over the world, the grand scheme would be: How can we enhance and increase British Imperial power? If we were the Romans when they were the only superpower in that portion of the world they cared about, the only big picture item would be: How can we secure and extend the power of the Roman legions? But as President Bush makes this truly Presidential decision out of his gut, he has made it clear that the ultimate question he is asking, and we must ask with him, is, How will this expand the role of liberty throughout the world? That, as I say, is a standard I can follow. "
well now....isn't that just peachy??
It seems to me that this sums up pretty well the US position.
