@Ali phil,
YouTube - Secret Societies: The Bilderberg Group
There are a lot of videos if you search for them. It just seems wrong that this group decides and influences world leaders and no one is allowed to know what they are deciding that is the fact. The conspiracy would be that they are planning a world take over.
I think everyone is a pawn to some extent, the way I am a pawn to my boss. I pretty much do as I am told so that I can make a paycheck for my family. At least I can make art and read philosophy in my spare time
I really hope that the war is ended soon. I don't see how one man could hide on this tiny Earth for too long. As far as oil goes I think Bush saw an opportunity to grab some while we were there as well as other things like muslim womens' rights and Hussien. I don't think it is right for us to do anything with their land or oil.
I have heard some people say that we have a right to take the oil because our technology is better at producing more oil from the wells than they can. The way in which they drill ruins the wells and "rapes" the land is what my preacher said.
That would be a good discussion about who has the right to own property and who doesn't.
In a time where we are running out and everyone needs it the world is just going to let it happen whether it is wrong or right.
