Re: British Soldier Beheaded in London in busy street
812 billion dollars spent on Iraq war? What does that mean? US printed 812 billion dollars, and at least 80% of that made its way back into the US economy. As far as China is concerned, it sells the US a lot of stuff to get the dollar so that it can then use it to buy oil. Therefore US also benefits by being able to print paper that has a value as oil suppliers will accept it for the oil. Colonialism is the establishment, exploitation, maintenance, acquisition and expansion of colonies in one territory by people from another territory. In how many countries does the US have a military presence in? Although you don’t need to have a military presence in this day and age to be a colonial power. The invasion of Iraq was more to do with supporting Israel and trying to strengthen its position rather than oil alone.
