Since Saddam was yanking oil prices up and down (by pumping to his UN brokered max one week, then closing the spigots next) the US Oil Companies and the Saudis were in favor of shutting down Iraq's production back to a consistant level, or none at all. It worked. Prices stabilized (higher), and the rich got richer. Oh, and VP Dick Cheney's former company (Hallitosisburton) got super rich with exclusive contracts for Army logistics.
Yeah? And? The corrupt are pushing their advantage, and the majority of Americans are (a) totally in the dark, or (b) too economically pinched to care.
Democracy rests on two things:
(1) A reasonable educated population (clearly not in evidence in the US), and
(2) the basic security of sensible universal health care (totally non-existent in the US).
Without those two pillars, democracy is in serious danger.
