Hello Everybody,

I would appreciate it if you guys (when you have a spare moment) could reply, giving your opinion of 'what you think the main reason for the 2003 invasion of Iraq was'. Just to let you know that I am a neutral observer and would not consider myself as supporting either the right or left political ideologies. I am, however, strongly considering voting for (Mr Insane) George Galloway's 'Respect' party because I totally believe that the war is completely unjustified and the true reason behind all of this is for financial gain. I'm pretty sure that the majority of people in the UK are not too concerned about the events that are taking place in Iraq as they are not involved and cannot change anything. Apathy seems to be everybody's attitude these days, which is, of course, their right.

In the past few months, I have conducted an enormous amount of research into this war. As a logical observer, with all bias aside, I have come to the conclusion that the main objective of this war is to further enhance the United States' global economic supremacy by gaining control of Iraq's Oil reserves thus enabling them to control the distribution to other nations. This is obviously considered to be a 'far left' ideology as this notion indicates a conspiracy. However, this is not necessarily the case as the US / UK has never actually denied this accusation. They basically just sell their other (not as important) objective of 'giving freedom and democracy to Iraq' through the mainstream media by using propaganda (especially Fox News in the US).

Just incase you are not aware of this interesting peice of information, the main reason that I come to this conclusion is because, according to the documents / documentaries that I've seen, Saddam Hussein decided to change oil-export payments into Euro's rather than US Dollars in 2000, just to p!ss the US off and this heavily effected the US economy. The first thing that the US did when they invaded Iraq in 2003 was to take over the Oil and convert the export payments back into US Dollars. So it's totally obvious that economic power is their main objective.

What is your opinion?

Thanks.
