Hi,

Can someone tell me, what is stopping Saudi Arabia and other oil rich gulf states from applying sanctions in the form of oil exports to the USA & Israel until they comply with UN resolutions?

Surely if such countries applied sanctions, although it could (in theory), especially in this current economic downturn, destroy the USA & Israel financially, it would save many lives in Gaza AND Israel as the ceasfire has now ended.

Oh.. I guess America can use Iraqi oil, they are probably getting that free, so the idea may not work.
Thanks

I mean you have loads of different races all dating each other in USA. So why isn’t it like that everywhere else, for example in russia and most of eastern europe there is hardly any of that, because there isn’t many different races in them countries. So why so much in USA?

aquazul asked:

Do you think the USA will become a mature enough country to understand that through violence nothing can be achieved successfully in the long run? Look at Iraq as an example. In the beginning of the invasion the USA military cut through the Iraqi Army as a knife through butter but then, after 6 years of illegal occupation, four thousand American soldiers died, for a complete vain cause. Worse, hundred of thousands of innocent Iraqis lost their lives!!

Thanks a lot for your answer.

When it is the USA which kidnapped them, held them illegally without charge, tortured some of them and denied them legal representation and a trial?

Why doesn’t the USA clean up its own mess?

Desiree asked:


Unlike in some other countries, why is it unusual in the USA that you build your own home from scratch? Why is it that American prefer a built house on a lot either brand new or a rehabber – than just constructing from your own plan? Why is it so? I would think so because it may be more expensive to go through architectural planning. Is that so?
