How Many Reasons Are There for the Iraq War?
There are the offficial and essentially bogus reasons:
1) WMD
2) connections of Iraq to terrorism
3) liberation of the Iraqi people
Then there are the unofficial yet more plausible reasons:
1) oil
2) neocon agenda of remaking middle east, helping Israel
3) Bush finishing "family business"
4) Bush doing what dad didn't do (showing him up)
5) Bush getting revenge for Iraq assassination attempt on dad
6) help conservative domestic agenda-- helping Bush get re-elected and helping Republican take-over of congress
7) Bush wanting to "make history" by being a famous war president
8) old-fashioned imperialism, the West meddling in Muslim affairs
9) to prevent Iraq from trading oil in Euros, which would be a blow to US
10) Pentagon wanted a war for selfish reasons (training, sense of purpose, inflating their budget)
11) an excuse to run up debt; helping prop up Western currencies
I think this is all the ones I know. Isn't it amazing how many plausible reasons there are?????

Iraq started using the euro as an alternative to the dollar to sell their oil in September 2000 . The war in Iraq & the subsequent installation of a US puppet government in Iraq (backed by the corporate-military-industrial network conglomerate) reverted Iraq's oil selling back to the US dollar standard. (For an indepth study of this, see www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/RRiraqWar.html )
Now Iran has stated it will establish an Oil Bourse that will use euros to sell its oil exports on March 20th 2006. www.energybulletin.net/8379.html
Google Iran +Oil +Bourse for a number of web & news articles, but none in any MSM locations. There is a total MSM blackout of this issue.
This is why IRAN will be the NEXT BIG THING
