their money trumps our peace

"Money trumps peace"(Bush said it) is the fundamental reason for the invasions and subsequent gory and violent occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

In Richard Behan’s excellent article: "From Iraq to Afghanistan, Connecting the Dots with Oil:" he brilliantly follows the history of the oil-money trail in these countries that are one, rich in oil, and two, well placed for the transportation and delivery of oil.

Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan, or their leaders or governments had anything to do with 9-11, but they were in the way of oil and other industries that profit from oil, so they had to go.

Money trumped peace in those countries and they are destroyed and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, Afghanis and Americans have been slaughtered because they were blocking American imperialistic profiteering.
