Thank you!<br />Weapons barons and oil barons, they all work for the same department...<br />As to the UN, I believe there are quite obvious reasons why it doesn't work as it should: the very same barons just don't want it to work. So it doesn't work. Power is with the money, not with the ideas...<br />Best wishes! Hope you're okay now!RIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504864950306777236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31125887.post-53615500875631127562006-12-22T02:29:00.000+00:002006-12-22T02:29:00.000+00:00Ric, in your comment to Joel you mentioned about t...Ric, in your comment to Joel you mentioned about the billions of dollars in weapons. Please don't forget about the billions of dollars in oil!<br /><br />In our modern world, the oil barons from all nations are responsible for more of the carnage than most people and/or politicians are likely to ever admit!<br /><br />Also: This was very thoughtful of you. No matter what country a young service man or woman is from, they are at the mercy of their leaders AND circumstances.<br /><br />We can only blame Bush for the Iraq situation. Other leaders, as well as the United Nations, deserve their share of blame for their own lunacy!<br /><br />GrayGrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428046291631841793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31125887.post-47143216882165642862006-12-21T19:32:00.000+00:002006-12-21T19:32:00.000+00:00Obrigado, João!

I cannot do much more...<br />People aren't that much interested or even concerned. As I have been noticing in the bloggosphere, people just go on counting the months left for Bush to leave the WH... If you ask me, I'll tell you that's definitely not enough.<br />And it won't stop, because billions and billions of dollars are at stake as far as weapons are concerned.<br />Thank you, dear friend!RIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504864950306777236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31125887.post-54358771177031111952006-12-21T19:14:00.000+00:002006-12-21T19:14:00.000+00:00Bela homenagem, sem dúvida.
