so, when china becomes the dominent world power, i guess you will have no problem with it taking whatever assets it wants which happen to be held by another country ... gotta eliminate all of those near monopolies you know
oh yea, that was funny that you make sure we remember the propaganda that the war was about WMDs that didn't exist and not about the oil that we crave

It would be nice if the UN was competent enough to police the world, but it is not, and to hope for it is being hopelessly optimistic. OPEC is a near monopoly, and the results of its embargo prove it. Read the wiki article I posted a link to for more information, that's why I put it there. It is not like being a little pregnant. The conspiracy theory about Bush wanting to invade Iraq for its oil is a conspiracy, unless you have any evidence to support your theory. If China wants to help ensure a global free market, then let them help. And maybe the UN will eventually be able to function for itself.
