For those of you who feel current US policy is not financially motivated. Here's another quote from a Times article on current US plans for Iraq:

"It would put an American officer in charge of Iraq for a year or more while the United States and its allies searched for weapons and maintained Iraq's oil fields. "

The perceptions of those outside of the US that our country is driven purely by greed are, at the moment, pretty much correct. Our freedoms as businesspeople and citizens are dictated almost entirely by the wealthy and powerful. Currently we do enjoy a good amount of leeway, but how long will it last?
