It's sick what the US has done to that country. The Almighty Dollar rules and the people just have to accept it.

Know what though? They won't. They haven't taken this lying down and they won't nor should they. The natural resources of that country belong to the people, not American "interests."

A lot of what we have called "terrorist attacks" over there have been by people who are angry that we've taken their oil and their livelihoods as contractors take their jobs and defend the thieves. Oy.
