The reason is that the Global Economy depends on Distribution of Goods, Distribution of Goods is solely dependent on Energy to transport these Goods, and our current energy is made through Oil. The Middle East has 2 times the Oil Reserves of the rest of the World Combined- see my article on this on my Blog. What is your answer?? Thanks Brian Morgan

But you typed this exact same thing in the old war discussion you dug www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/name-a-valid-reason-for-war
Repeating the identical message across more than one thread comes close to spam, especially when you make both identical comments at the same time.

I for one couldn’t survive 9 dollar a gallon gas prices. Well – maybe I could but I wouldn’t want to live in any cities because it would be complete anarchy.

  Why? In a city I can live without a car, and in theory we could ship food via the rails.

stoneman, I think he's referring more about OTHER people.... after all, people don't need much of an excuse to go nuts... Drop by my blog anytime for a quick shot in the arm of the level some will go to over nothing... let alone skyrocketing fuel costs.

I do think that many people in the USA and perhaps in other developed countries believe that it is the "USA's motive to have control over the Middle East due to the USA's dependence on OIL" - I don't believe this - the ENTIRE Global Economy seems to be what the USA is in the Middle East for - it's larger than just the USA's interests in OIL for our own needs, IMO many countries have backed the USA (maybe not in the media, but behind closed doors) knowing that a Major Disruption in World Oil Output (i.e. the Middle East) would dramatically affect the Global Economies (plural).

I feel like I should just say "bump"... but here's my synopsis.

While the US does its best to be civilized and help other nations (and there are PLENTY of examples), there are other cultures that aren't terribly modern in their thinking. It makes no sense to let dictatorships that harbor 7th century death cults to possess overwhelming power that they would not hesitate to use in a mutual destruction scenario.... everything after that is moot.

The US aint' perfect but its the best thing going...

After Vietnam, the US military decided it would no longer fight in areas with trees and an underground fit for tunnels. The country which best fitted this new country invading objective was Iraq, so voila, that's the reason. You happy now?

  True, but that hilly, tropical land full of tunnels have, in modern times, made for some great first person shooter wargames.

I think it is because Sadam Bin Laden hid weapons of mass destruction in Pakistan and we had to go find them.

  We did find them... they're called radical Islamic suicide bombers. And they're being dispatched as you read this.

Prediction Next 3 Years (USA)-
1. Oil Prices /\ ; "Gas in USA will be $5+ per gallon by July 2008" and "then hit $6.50 per gallon around Christmas 2008".
2. Huge Discounters (WalMart, Meijers, Costco...) "will be flooded with New Customers" (looking only for cheap stuff) / stock rises for these.
3. SubPrime and Other Home Loans will be unstable until 2009 or 2010. "Low home sales and low new construction in most of the USA until 2010-2011".
4. GM, FORD, and CHRYSLER will have worst sales for the next 3 years (until 2011. May even "sell-out to a foreign buyer(s)/ owner(s)".
5. "Mutual Funds" will become some of the Best Choices for Financial Planning- diversification during rough markets through 2011.
6. Cellular Phone Plans will reach $50 for "unlimited calling" (unlimited cell calls each month for $50) will happen this summer (2008), pricing just released is about $100 for unlimited calling via cellular.
7. Major Retailers will go broke, lack of sales... like Macys, Target, and those in direct competition with WalMart, Costco etc. (2009)
8. Car Dealerships will either close or consolidate, lack of car sales due to higher oil costs - domino effect thro economy.
9. Small Local Publishers going bankrupt - small newspapers, no readers...
10. Health Insurance Prices will skyrocket (double) - population of Babyboomers needing to use their Insurance- will increase Insurance Costs through 2011, New Health Insurance Niche Products, Specialization Coverage not Broad Medical Expense Coverage.
11. Tap Water troubles - "finding that local water treatment plants are not really cleaning up the water enough for drinking" - higher sales of bottled water and filtered water products (Next 6 months, 2008). New in home filtration units installed in condos, apartments, homes.
12. Clinton and Obama win election - democrats won't want to split these two and will run them on same ticket to beat republicans.
13. Outsourcing & Oil will double zap the USA economy 2010- manufacturing is already dead, spreading to other large industries - my best bet is putting money in "emerging markets" and watching them grow (stocks/funds). Industries for new grads will be "Health Care, Pharmacy, Small Business Services, Professional Services, and much more migration to large cities not small rural areas" (CA, FL, AZ, TX, NY).
14. Small towns that were once great income producing areas due to manufacturing (auto) will become zero growth areas - no new economic growth.
