The Iraqi oil belongs to the Iraqi people?

I have been hearing this a lot from people lately. Mainly I have been hearing this from Donald rumsfeld and Paul wolfawitz and other top old school cold warriors in the bush administration. I thought about it for a while(somehow I have time to do this) and I thought, now this has come full circle(as things seem to always do) and don’t these cold warriors sound like communists! spouting about how the natural resources belong to the people. “the Iraqi oil belongs to the Iraqi people” wow, I wish the US oil belonged to the US people. I wish I was born with tons of shares of oil stock and lots of stock of other natural resources too. Then maybe I would have thought of that. Do these guys know what they are saying? How will the US reconstruct a country from rubble and mass looting and create a basically single income country, where the oil belongs to everyone, without systematic socialism? Will the country be one giant corporation? And will the citizens of the US allow the people of Iraq to have equal rights to their resources when we don’t have that right? I think that we should question Federalizing our oil so that we can enjoy the same rights as the liberated Iraqi’s. We could take a much larger than present share of the profits to invest in research and design of renewable resources and alternative resources and pay for it by not having to fill the pockets of tons of oil billionaires. We don’t need huge amounts of competition in the oil industry to make it function at an economic and efficient pace since that pace will have to inevitably slow down, not speed up. After all it’s not a renewable resource like trees. It is an industry that has to be in the business of putting itself out of business if we want to create sustainable conditions for humans in the long run. I wish these guys knew how smart what they are saying really is. (I never thought id say that) But what’s good for the goose is good for the gander (never thought id say that either) and lets do it at home too!. You can claim that this war is not about oil all you want but there are two things in Iraq, sand and oil and I can tell you that we are not there for the sand. It is clear that corporate oil leadership in our government from either party will lead all of us down a road that will lead to more conflicts and place short term profits for the richest 1% over long term strength in terms of: economics, environment and peace. Let’s take our own oil back and let these oil billionaires go live on the tiny islands they claim to run their corporations from. Maybe these cold warriors turned socialists are geniuses!
