I agree with the terroist threats, they are coming from all around the place, which is why the war on terrorism is a hard war to fight. I think if the war on terrorism is going to be sucessful, we need a more global involvment from europe, russia, china etc

The contracts to pump oil from Iraq's deep reserves have all been given to American companies. As soon as (if ever) the American government can guarantee the safety of American workers in Iraq, then these large American corporations will be happily taking all the profits from it, a move that enraged the British government, who clearly had their own plans for spending the money, and allegedly also had companies (British ones, naturally) lined up ready to fly out and start digging.
