I don't think Brazil selling us oil would be a problem. The relations between the countries are ok. And I don't think Brazil would turn away such a big business opportunity.
But, what I think about the Iraq War is quite different. I really do believe it was motivated by oil. The war has destabilized the region, and all our idiotic mistakes have made the country worse. Since shortly before the war started, the price of oil has quadrupled. So the oil firms here are making four times their normal profits.
Plus, the greatest threat to the security our biggest oil suppliers, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, was Saddam Hussein. He's gone, and their security interests served.
One forum member described the Iraq War as, "A war our government refuses to let us win." Honestly, I can't think of a better description for this war. Could our leaders really be this stupid at handling wars, or do they have ulterior motives? I can't help but wonder, when oil prices start to go down, will that be when we invade Iran?
Yes yes, I'm batso.
