Why start a war

1
Why start a war?

• Back-stage of the American attack on Iraq in
  1991
  
• Source of information University of Milan

2
Costs of Gulf War

• 40 billions of dollars

38 billions of euros
3
Who has paid them?

• You might think they have been paid by USA, but

But it is only partially true
40 Billions
25 of costs has been covered by USA (10
Billions)
75 of costs has been covered by Arabian
countries, especially Kuwait and Saudi Arabia
(30 Billions)
4
Where did they find that money?

• Oil price, before the war, was about 15 per
  barrel

but with the Gulf War, it increased to 42 per
barrel, generating an extra profit estimated to
be at least 60 Billions
And who got this profit?
In the Arabian countries there is the so-called
fifty-fifty law 50 to local Government, 50
to the multi-national which controls the
oil-field. Then
5
Easy answer

• Net profit from the price increase 60 Billions

30 Billions to Oil Companies
30 Billions to Arabian Government (Kuwait
Saudi Arabia)
6
Who owns the oil companies?
In the Middle East, oil drawing and trade is
totally controlled by the 7 Sisters (Shell,
Tamoil, Esso), all Americans, 5 owned directly
by USA Government.
30 Billions
About 21 Billions to USA Government
About 9 Billions to private Americans
7
Lets count
11Billions profits
9 Billions profits
Now it is clear USA gained 20 Billions from the
War! To liberate Kuwait? They just wanted to get
money!
8
That is not all

• At the end, who has paidfor the 1991 war in
  Iraq?

Those who use oil
then us!!!
9
Moreover

• So USA, with the oil increase and war effects,
  has gained

11 Billions directly
49 Billions from effects!!!
10
But consider also this

• 2. Where the 40 Billions spent for the War are
  gone?

To the war industry, which is almost totally
AMERICAN!!!
11
Remarks

• It is easy to imagine that the 1991 War was done
  for economical reasons and not for human reasons
  or freedom purposes

But now it is also easier to understand 2 issues
today the reasons of Afghanistan War and most l
ikely, and
the next War in Iraq.
12
Remarks

• Especially, the Afghanistan War had as its main
  target, the establishment of a puppet Government,
  which let the building of a oil pipeline (owned
  by Americans) 2,500 km long, across its
  territory.

This pipeline, having strategic importance, has
got a unique alternative the building of
another pipeline, 5,500 km long, much more
expensive to be built and maintained by the USA,
due to high taxes required from crossed countries.
Much easier, then, to destroy a country weakened
by 20 years of War and make it a colony, having
the opportunity to build the pipeline in peace.
13
Remarks

• To understand why Bush jr. wants to attack Iraq
  again, we need to know that USA is arguing with
  its main oil supplier in Middle East Saudi
  Arabia.

The break is getting serious, because Saudi
Arabia is one of the most involved countries with
Bin Laden terrorism, and because the
international public opinion has pointed out the
lack of human rights in this country.
For the Bush Government there is a priority now
find an alternative oil supplier in the Middle
East.
14
Remarks

• The easiest way is to attack Iraq, remove Saddam
  and establish a puppet Government controlled
  directly by USA(as Bush already said it will
  be)
• The spontaneous question is Why Iraq?
• For 3 simple reasons

Iraq is a country who cannot defend itself
(poverty due to embargo killed every year 300,000
children). Iraq offers an easy pretext (mysteriou
s mass-destruction weapons, which are developed
having great technologies and capitals) to
justify the attack to American public opinion,
who ignore the real reason of the War the
control of oil. At the moment, Iraq has not got
any strong allies, to counter an American attack.
15
Last remarks
Moreover, in the last 3 months, in Venezuela, the
social revolution has broken out due to miserable
life conditions of the people, controlled by the
American oil multinationals
Venezuela is the biggest United States oil
supplier. To find alternatives to Venezuela and S
audi Arabia is the main goal for Bush.

What to do?

• First of all, let as many people as possible know
  about the real reasons of the war.If a person
  doesnt know, he/she is easily controllable. If
  instead, he/she can think with his/her mind, it
  is not impossible he/she will be against a
  barbarian war for economic reasons only.

Support all the institutions and associations
against this war. Translate this file into your
language, to let people know. Show the peace flag
on your balcony. All of us have to pay if this wa
r starts.
