Why we can't be friends

I watched an interview on CBC tonight. They always seem to do a pretty fair job of assessing world events as long as one remembers they are, of course, born into western philosophy. It seems certain that Bush will attack Iraq no matter what inspectors find. This is just a ploy really. Every obstacle you throw in front of him to keep peace will eventually be overturned in his quest to make America oil rich and free to rule the world. What does this mean to me as a Canadian? Besides the fact that world war 3 is a very real possibility, it also means that my countries borders may no longer be as secure. America needs water and we are very rich in that area. Whats to stop them from taking it? I guess its time for us all to start dusting off all the prophecies again, huh. What I can't understand is how businessmen get elected to important positions that effect everyday people. People are only a commodity to the business world. The business world does not care if your children need medical attention. They do not care if you are impoverished. They do not care that you are dying from HIV. But, if you have a few bucks to toss about? You're then a person. First rule of the todays world-----> a friend in greed is a friend indeed.
