Why doth the Muslim rage? [View All]

It's simple: many of them know, as do the many informed US citizens and the US Congress, that the US does not now and never has intended to establish a democracy in Iraq. The 14 permanent military bases being built in Iraq as mentioned by John Kerry in the 2004 debates and re-funded by the US Congress in June 2006 are proof that the US always intended to stay in Iraq permanently.
They know that fundamentally oil is what both of these conflicts (Israel&Iraq) are about. Israel which recieves about 1/3rd of US foreign aid is not just a lucky winner of a random drawing of straws. They are a forward base for the richest oil region in the world. This base is used to destablize the region for easier access to markets. This is a tactic employed by the US for over a century. Chaos capitalism is the name of the game. If humanitarian concerns were the litmus test for divvying up foreign aid Darfur, Indonesia and any number of other countries in dire straits would be higher up the list than Israel. Better yet we would take care of New Orleans if "taking care of America first" carried any weight.

The first Gulf War (Desert Storm)reinstalled the slave-holding Sabah's in Kuwait and called it liberation. This was a prelude to the present conflict. Saddam Hussein was provoked by Kuwait stealing oil by slant drilling into the Rumailiah oil field that was 95% in Iraq. When Hussein lodged complaints with the UN and then confronted US Ambassador April Glaspie with the matter she replied: "We have no opinion on Arab border disputes". Saddam, as most of us know, was "our son-of-a-bitch" all through the 80's.

Rumailiah, the largest single deposit of oil in the world, was the prize the Bushies recieved for their efforts. After Desert Storm the Kuwait border was moved over so Rumailiah was 50% in Kuwait. The Muslim world knows this, they know that the ultimate goal of the Bush corporate predator fascists is to takeover the Mid-East! Thus they rage and do "crazy" things.
