Well, because they are in our pocket and we don't need to occupy them. You noticed how quickly we came running when they were invaded.

They are in our pockets because they do whatever we say and mobilizing an army within a month of the invasion is about as quick as it gets.

The notion that the US invaded Iraq purely for oil is very superficial. One would imagine that oil did play an integral part in the decision making process. But the notion that America invaded Iraq in righteous valour and to 'liberate' the Iraqi people is ludicrous. The US is trying to reshape the Middle East for whatever reason, known only to the policy makers. If they are truly so benevolent, then why not liberate the Palestinians from Israeli oppression. Or oust Robert Mugabe. America is in Iraq to serve its own purposes and is selling the idea of liberation to the world to justify their invasion. Maybe their own purpose is their own national defence, but either way it has nothing to do with Iraq's freedom or cleansing the world of oppression. America has turned a blind eye to humanitarian atrocities in Africa, Asia and the Far East too long for anyone to believe that they have any semblance of benevolence

Such wanton displacement of sexual energy could never have led to any good.

If things had gone according to plan, the US troops (are they still called GIs?) would be cuddling up with their Iraqi lady friends by now and you'd be driving around in even bigger customised pseudo-military vehicles (aren't Humvee drivers a frigging joke?) running on stolen gas. Sadly, things haven't gone according to plan. It's the wrong decade--the A-Team is still driving around in the 80s...that was the decade when plans came together...Maybe when President Schwarzenegger comes to power...at least he doesn't fumble his lines...
