schestowitzWhen your country has led an actual war at the low, low cost of, oh, I don't know, just a bunch of hundreds of thousands of (mostly foreign) lives, just in order to get their way business-wise, just to get full control of the market in the foreign country they invaded, you'll of course be pissed to find out that even though you've supported the invasion and everything and were part of the team, you're still not getting full Jun 05 12:18
schestowitzcontrol of your part of the market. Iraq's oil profits belong to US-centric multinationals and Iraq's software business belongs to Microsoft. Objection to that is probably terrorism, and any terrorism (that they do to us) is illegal. Qed.Jun 05 12:18
