Obsession for Oil

Reports of US annexing Iraq appears to be highly disturbing. The oil reserves of Iraq appear to be the prime motive behind the US ambition of ruling that country (without realising that even those reserves are limited). Perhaps it would be more good if US could concentrate on research to have hydrogen as fuel substitute instead of indulging in another arms-flexing exercise. The world is aware on who are the biggest consumers of oil and who contributes more to the global warming (considering the fact that even completely burnt hydrocarbons would produce carbon-dioxide). The world is also aware about the capability of the promoters of 'free markets' to influence US Government and international organisations to get results in their favour. These vocalists of free markets have acquired immense capability to remain calm, even if humanity is threatened, to such an extent that it can be compared to any rogue organisation. The world is also aware on who contributed to the loss of 5% of the ozone layer, creating a hole (that is gradually drifting to the nearest pole as a result of the centrifugal action caused by the rotation of the earth). The world is also aware about who is testing armaments (on live targets under the name of carpet bombing) to flush out mines. US should now sit and learn why some organisations attacked ruthless 'trading centres' and brainless 'arms headquarters' and what should be done to avoid such reprisals in future. Perhaps this would give it enough courage to live in dignity and to let others live too. CK Raju PS : Sorry to post it here, but unilateral actions such as these have a high say in our career and would definitely make a change in the way we live and think now.
