Michael Parenti's Opinion on War in Iraq
-
I just found out Michael Parenti has published an article on US war with Iraq. http://www.michaelparenti.org/IRAQGeorge2.htm[^] I hope this article enlighten those who haven't learned way to analyze what they are being fed. PS. I learned about Michael Parenti in my Academic Writting class, and now I am a big fan of him!

You have said that people need to be enlighten ( I don't know if that is a word. but I think I know what you mean) and able to analyze what they are being fed. I read the article from Michael Parenti, and I believe it to be bias to war opposition. Yes, there are some wrong reasons for going to war with Iraq. Oil being one of them. No doubt that higher up officials looked at oil as a benefit to going to war. But it is not a single reason. Nor do I believe it to be the ultimate reason. No matter how much our country may or may not want oil, I don't think we are willing to sacrafice our soldiers lives for it. Robert have you ever served in a Military Unit? Have you ever served your country? It seems that you are painting a picture of war hungry americans that are determined on taking over a country for its oil, and killing anything that gets in our way. This is not true. We are going out of our way (more so than most countries would) to protect non combatant lives. In Post war Iraq in fact the United States has plans to slowly release the control over the country back to its people. Just like we did in Afganistan. We will hold contracts on oil in Iraq after the war. Most likely.. who wouldn't? The French who are opposed to the war and think it is wrong, are allready complaining because they will not have any oil contracts in Iraq. It seems to me the French are more interested in the Oil than America. -------------------------------------------------------- IMHO: C# a poor attempt at bringing C++ to the VB masses --------------------------------------------------------

Germany also in against the US attack but Germany is not within the concession with Baghdad oil supply. No matter what the reason was. WAR is always not a good resolution. And that is why we have UN. remember? Peace no war

Well,I think what you are saying is 1.Angel America is paying billions of dolars and the lives of many soldiers to save the Iraqi people from sadam -as they are saving the good sharon from the palastinians by paying him billions and giving him weapons to defend him self againest thoses monesters children with rocks- same point of view of course 2.America in its current situation dont need oil :-D 3.It is not of israeli interest to get rid of the arabs and muslims one country by another any way I like the way you express your opinion as you dont think any other opinion is antiamerican :) La ILah Ila allah Mohamed Rasoul Allah

The objective is not just power for its own sake but power to insure plutocratic control of the planet, power to privatize and deregulate the economies of every nation in the world, to hoist upon the backs of peoples everywhere—including the people of North America ---the blessings of an untrammeled "free market" corporate capitalism. Sounds like a plan to me. The struggle is between those who believe that the land, labor, capital, technology, and markets of the world should be dedicated to maximizing capital accumulation for the few, and those who believe that these things should be used for the communal benefit and socio-economic development of the many. So it's still all about Capitalism vs. Marxism. I thought so. I believe I will take capitalism, thank you very much all the same. "My job is to protect America" George W. Bush.

Yes, I dislike the terrorists, but if they stopped terrorizing, I wouldn't. Why do you hate Israel so much? Don't anser that. I will start an entirely new thread here in the soapbox and you can answer it there.
