Osama Bin Laden was used by the Bush administration as a Raison d'être for military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now that Bin Laden is gone what is Obama going to do? Some say the real reason for invasion of Afghanistan was to construct a gas pipeline through Afghanistan to transport natural gas from the former USSR states to the Indian Ocean. To get to Bin Laden there were easier ways through the help of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan but that was not the purpose. We all know now that Saddam had no WMDs and it was for oil and so it is true for Libya – in Libya again it is for oil and not protecting civilians. As a matter of fact it may just happen that more civilians will be killed as a result of the intervention than if we let Arabs take care of the Gadhafi problem.
Donald Trump is a big mouth but he speaks the truth when he says these wars are all about oil and fossil fuels and otherwise the US must not kill people or get its own soldiers killed. I don’t think the death of Bin Laden will bring peace. U.S and NATO has to make peace with Afghanistan and the Middle East in order to achieve peace. There are diplomatic ways to get fossil fuels other than murder and mayhem. I suppose without war the weapons industries in the U.S will lose profits and they don’t want that to happen.
