It seems to me that few ask why the price is now so high. There is no shortage of petrol so why the hike. Could it possibly be corporate greed from the oil barons? Luckily I now have a company car and the wife's toyota runs on an oily rag.

I've said it before and I will say it again. Just give Iran two nukes primed and ready to go - one aimed at Washington and the other at Jerusalem. Talk of more wars and pre-emptive strikes will cease immediatly and "diplomacy" will flourish. Worked just dandy with USA -…

Sarge - We haven't buried Iraq, we've liberated it from an evil dictator. Do you deny this?

He-he-he!

Yes, the media bring the issuue up each year. But it could have been worse. Just imagine - and you are going to need a strong imagination - that bush had been right and the war/mission in Iraq had been accomplished. Then america and good parts of the rest of…
