Put 1-6 in the spot light to keep people from focusing on the Iraq war and being more against the war. But it's the war. The war is what caused 1-6.

If you already fell for the WMD line then consider that you might be falling for another line about oil.


And before someone ask how does Iraq war make demand in China and India higher??
Here's the answer:

Iraq = The Bank;
Oil = The money;

If someone is trying to blow up the bank wouldn't you rush to get as much money out as possible before the bank finally collapsed!

Other countries in the world want to make sure they have suffcient stock piles of oil
in case we completely destroy the place and there is no more oil comming out.
Buy one barrel to use and one barrel to save = double the demand.

Bottom line; the price of oil is high because everybody want's all they can possibly get now before we ruin the place to the point that no one can get any at all.
