Well, I'm not actually sure that the invasion of Iraq was about oil. I mean, we could have gotten plenty by just dropping sanctions. So I'm not sure I buy the oil conspiracy angle. From what I've read, I tend to think that we have an unspoken policy of boxing in Russia and China, in order to have leverage against them, perhaps in case they get any funny ideas about dumping their dollar reserves. Or maybe we simply needed another boogeyman after the USSR fell.
Speaking of investing in Canada...man I wish I had invested in Suncor the last couple of years. My house downpayment would now be about enough to buy a house outright. Doh!
