Escalation means deescalation?
Just like the Everlasting Gobstopper, a candy created to last forever, It seems that President Bush and his cronies are attempting to make the occupation of Iraq last forever at a cost much greater than what they are saying.
"The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated the cost of the President's plan to increase the number of military personnel deployed to Iraq under different scenarios related to the duration of that increase. In summary, CBO estimates that costs would range from $9 billion to $13 billion for a four-month deployment and from $20 billion to $27 billion for a 12-month deployment, depending upon the total number of troops deployed and including additional costs that would be incurred during the build-up and ramp-down periods." -- Congressional Budget Office, U.S. Congress, February 1, 2007 (PDF)

The United States bombed Afghanistan because they said didn't want an oil pipeline running through their country. They were told, "either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs." [1]

Violence is obsolete
- Bombs kill people, not problems.
- Diplomacy is the only real way to solve problems.
The only problem is most people can't seem to grasp the big picture. [2] If people can discern the truth through the propaganda, they will see there is only one real truth, greater than any other. Once they know this one truth, everything else makes complete sense. What is this truth?
It is *ALL* about BIG OIL and war profiteering!!! [3]
BIG OIL
Every major decision is made solely based on one criteria...
"Does this benefit BIG OIL?" [4]
By asking this simple question, anyone can quickly determine what is really happening.[5]
Exxon/Mobil just topped it's own incredible record profits! During 2006, they made $75,000 in profit EVERY MINUTE, and this is PURE PROFIT!!! [6]
We are still in Iraq because the Iraqi oil has not yet been privatized.[7] Companies such as Exxon/Mobil continue to leech Iraq's oil!!!

A note from Speedracer, the creator of this wiki:
First, a quick answer to your question: YES! You can edit this page without asking permission!
Why did I create this Wiki?
In my opinion, it seems that people are to busy watching American Idol or worrying about who is going to get Anna Nicole's baby than paying attention to what will directly effect them. If they don't open their eyes soon, they may never be able to stop the runaway train heading down the dead end track.
My analogy: Someone is walking down the sidewalk so preoccupied with something on the other side of the street that they fail to see the sign post they are about to run into. I'm just trying to say, "Lookout!" and direct their attention to something more important.
Unfortunately, people are so distracted with what is going on in their own micro-environments, they fail to see the big picture of what is going on in the real world in which they live.
I created the Your-Rights.com website because I wanted to share the information that I found while web surfing, listening to Air America, etc. with other people. I feel it is important for other people to have a greater chance to see what I have seen.
After operating Your-Rights.com for over four years, I was getting a bit burned out from blogging about all the depressing current events. I decided to give others the opportunity to share their knowledge and concerns through the medium of a wiki.
I feel a wiki is a great way to share information for several reasons. It is fairly easy to use the wiki software. Unlike most other web interfaces, a wiki allows anyone to update existing articles or create completely new ones. This allows anyone to fix typo's, remove false information and add additional information.
By viewing the popular pages list, you will notice that people do actually view the pages within this wiki. Unfortunately, besides me there has only been one other person contribute anything besides SPAM content.
Here is something that I feel deserves more attention, especially since people are starting to be more aware of the issues involved with global warming.
The article you will see by following this link is a short paragraph which has a lot of links. If you view each of the links, you will learn a lot about this issue, which definitely needs some real public debate.
There is a lot of very important information within that article. If you take the time to review the provided links, you will probably be appalled by the inner workings of the War on drugs!
The above link goes to my other website, which I designed. It may not be the best website that you have ever seen. Some people have even told me, "That site sucks!" Aesthetics are nice to look at, but the information is what is most important. As you most likely already know, mean people will drive you into the ground if you let them. And besides, if you don't like the way it looks, why not offer to help make it look better?
I try my best to get people to open their eyes. Hopefully I am creating a positive effect and making a difference by helping people start thinking about the world in which they live instead of the world of their favorite celebrities.
If you know of something which you feel would be beneficial for others to know about, please feel free to go ahead and add your information. Please don't be afraid that you might mess everything up or something similar. Anything that you could possibly break is very easy to fix!
If you can't figure something out, feel free to ask me for help! I have contact information on my user page.
