They could offer them proper rates if they wanted to, and the government could stop them monopolising the business, so we don't pay ridiculous amounts for clothes and luxory items, that cost them ony a few dollars to make.

what you fail to realize is that someone is going to have power. if its not us, or an ally of ours, its going to be an enemy. more enemies create more wars. what do you think iraq is going to look like 20 years from now? now that its a US ally they get many more benefits then they would have otherwise.

Okay, why don't they invade every county that is being dictated? I'm sure Bush cares about saving the people from their horribe dictators, he just so happened to choose countries with oil, right?

no. im not greedy, like you seem to be given your disposition on the outlook of things. you need to cheer up a little. be thankful for what you have. i know i am. i grew up in romania before i moved to the us. we lived in a communist ruled country. we would pray that the US invade us to save us from the russians. it might sound strange but its true. thank goodness the soviet union fell. i know what a totalitarian regime is like. what the US has is infinitely better and theres nothing you can say that can change that.

I'm very gratefull that I live where I do, but I don't think it's right for the world and all it's money to be controlled by a minority of it's population.
