Iraq and Roll
While presumably having plenty else to worry about, Iraq has found time in its busy schedule to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. In other news, reports have it that U.S. President Bush, who refuses to ratify the protocol, will deliver a State of the Union speech tonight lauding progress in Iraq. Oh, the irony could make us weep.

Don't they know that the U.S. owns them now?! Isn't that why we went to war, so that we could conquer and control a middle eastern country rich in oil? I thought that's why we effed up the reconstruction so badly, so that we could "help" the Iraqis by adopting them like those fine Virgin Islanders? No?
They should have read the Constitution better, properties of the U.S. can't make their own international treaties with foreign powers.

The proliferation of green infrastructure in Iraq could be one of the steps to solving the problems there.
Also, it would provide jobs to people that would otherwise having nothing to do but sit, and wait, and suffer, and hate...

I was thinking how great it would be if all of a sudden Iraq decided that it wants to quit all this oil business, and go wind-turbine or solar on everyone. Then we'll see how interested the
administration truly is in democracy...
Especially (why didn't anyone think of this before!?) when the Iraqi democratic body goes green and votes to charge carbon emission taxes on all the oil they sell!
