Flake off, dude, but before you do, ask yourself these questions:

Where does the . military get its greatest tax revenue from?

Answer: Capital gains tax - originally fully owned by "private" oil.

Why aren't . owned oil companies drilling more in the .?

Answer: Too expensive, too much bureaucracy.

Why are we fighting a war in Iraq?

Answer: To secure an international supply of CHEAPER oil
by its PROXIMITY ALONE to Arab influence.

Who protects the industrial technology of Iraq?

American companies? Whoa, so it's actually CHEAPER
to hire mercenaries than live with a capital gains tax on
oil drilled at home?

Answer: Ever heard of Blackwater, DFID, mercenaries, or
the . military? (Doesn't matter what label they wear,
they're still a national defense force working for Arab
interests and against yankee ingenuity)

Sorry, dude, but IMHO Saudi Arabia happens to be BIG
GOVERNMENT's "best enemy that money can buy".
