Lawrence,
Instead of whining about leftists, you should consider what's going to happen in the Middle
East.
The US will pull out.
Saudi Arabia has already promised money and weapons to Iraqi Sunni to prevent a Shiite
country on their borders. This begins the Saudi-Iran+Iraq War.
But Saudi Arabia is extremely corrupt (i.e., zero support from the population), plus the
Bush White House, in another one of their crazy ideas, wants to topple Saudi Arabia. So...
I'm guessing Saudi Arabia will fall within the next two years.
This puts militant, revolutionary, or extremist groups in control of the world's first
(Saudi Arabia), second (Iran), and fourth (Iraq) largest reserves of oil.
But what about Kuwait? Fifth largest reserves?
Why, just look at this map:

See Kuwait? That teeny tiny spot inbetween Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia? Just how long will
it last if the Big Three are theocracies?
Yep, we're in for a real bad time.
Okay, Lawrence, back to you: "Leftists invaded Iraq and caused this problem...
