General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Reading the paper today Condoleeza Rice says the billions of dollars spent on executing the two wars has been a worthwhile investment,and the 100 billion is on top of what has already been spent,over 400 billion for Iraq alone.Yes it is good investment if you the business of armaments and construction.And Xrh59 in deference to your experience I suggest you look back in history to find the cause of the many problems that the world faces today,ethnic cleansing is not to this era,our ancestors have a lot to answer for.Now while we are on the subject of war here's a hyperthetical question:- do you think thr Americans would have been so reluctant to help Britain in WW2 if it had been known,for sure,that there was oil under the North Sea?
