Why to start a war?

Back-stage of the American


attack on Iraq in 1991
Source of information: University of Milan

Costs of Gulf War


40 billions of dollars
38 billions of euros

Who has paid them?


You might think they have been paid by
USA, but
But it is partially true only
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 $)

Where did they find that


money?

Oil price, before the war, was about 15 $ per


barrell
but with the Gulf War it increased to 42$ per barrel,
generating an extra profit estimated to be at least 60
Billions di $
And who got this profit?
In the Arabian country there is the so-called fifty-fifty
law: 50% to local Government, 50% to the multinational which controls the oil-field. Then

Easy answer:
Net profit from the price increase:
60 Billions $

30 Billions $ to oil
companies

30 Billions to
Arabian
Government (Kuwait
+Saudi Arabia)

Who owns 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

Lets count

Now it is clear USA gained 20 $ Billions from the War! To


liberate Kuwait? They just wanted to get money!

That is not all


At the end, who has paid the 1991 war in
Iraq?

Those who use oil

then us!!!

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

11 Billions $
directly

49 Billions $
from effects!!!

But consider also this


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

To the war industry, which is almost totally

AMERICAN!!!

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 today issues:


the reasons of Afghanistan War and most likely, next War in Iraq.

Remarks
Especially, the Afghanistan War had as 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, due to high taxes
required from crossed countries to USA.
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.

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.
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 Bush Government there is a priority now: find an alternative oil
supplier in the Middle East.

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 (mysterious 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 hasnot got any strong allied, to contrast American
attack.

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 Saudi Arabia is the main
goal of Bush.

What to do?
First of all, let as much as possible people know about
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 with economics 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 war starts.
