One might think in these hard times --- when the price of a gallon of gas has doubled in good part because of the Iraq war --- the White House might ask this supine Congress for a windfall profits tax on the oil majors.  With two former oil executives holding the two top jobs, though, that’s not likely to happen, any more than the Iraqi people will ever see the profits from their oil resource as long as George Bush is president. 

The bottom line is that the people both of Iraq and America are suffering from a needless war to profit USA’s military-industrial complex.  Recall that Thomas Jefferson opposed a standing navy because he had observed the way the Royal Navy pushed Great Britain to wage wars.  If you don’t remember that bit of history, it’s safe to say President Bush doesn’t, either.                               #
