Pros and Cons of War in Iraq
Should you use Military force to remove Saddam Hussein’s government?
The pros and cons of war in Iraq are; Saddam Hussein has run a cruel dictatorship of the country in Iraq for over 20 years. He started wars aligned with neighboring countries of Iran and Kuwait, top to the death of 1.5 million Muslims. Twelve years and 17 resolutions soon, world opinion is near unanimous that he hasn’t gotten rid of his weapon or fulfilled the conditions of the cease-fire. The Resolution was unanimously passed a few months ago mandating full disarmament. The resent disagreement involves essentially how Saddam should be disarmed-by force or by continued U.N. weapons inspections.

Insects in Iraq
Insects come under the phylum Arthropods that is characterized by jointed legs. Iraq contains a diverse range of insects which are brilliantly adapted to the blistering heat of the region. The following count carries the characters of some abundantly found insects in Iraq.
Prominent among insects in Iraq is the camel spider that can get as big as it wishes. It belongs to the order Soplpugida (Latin origin). It is basically a group of arachnids containing about 900 species. This order is also called Solpugida, another name. Thus, matevendos (deer killer), sun spider and the wind scorpion are the other names that belong to this order. Most Solifugae inhabit the regions ranging from tropical and sub tropical to grassland or forest. Their two large chelicerae is the most characteristic feature. Every chelicera comprises two articles that constitute a powerful pincer. The articles are loaded with the numerous teeth Long Pedipalps that work as sense organs are also exhibited by Solifugae. So, the function is randomly similar to the antennae of an insect. An appearance of two extra legs is given by the two pedipalps.
Second among insects in Iraq is the desert mantis, which blends into the sand and is essentially a carnivore. It starts forward with a tremendous speed and is found in all size and colors. The large black desert ants inhabit the acacia grooves of gif valley and the Karkur Talh. Oriental hornet is another insect found; it can exist as different species in all extreme of temperature. The temperate zone species of the hornet also has queens and workers in its social system. The fertilized queen forms nest in springs in hollow trees. She builds, on an average fifty vertical combs and then lays an egg in each which hatches in a week. The larva (fed a protein diet by the queen) spins a silk cap, altering into an adult (metamorphosis) after undergoing six stages within a week. The workers take care of the brood.
Another on the list of insects in Iraq is the desert ant that lives in desert and has an in built internal system of tracking the steps it takes. It also leaves a pheromone scent rail or visual cues to trace their path on the same way they came. Desert scorpions use their claws to hold the prey. Then, the telson is swung up and down the backs of the prey. Finally, the venom is injected; it is highly painful to humans as well. On the back, the mother carries nymphs, the young ones. It feeds on lizards and small vertebrates.
Among insects in Iraq, the fog drinking beetle also finds prominence. It has stiff and bumpy outer wings on which minute fog droplets gather and coalesce. The big droplet then releases is grip from the surface of the wing. Finally, the big drop rolls inside the mouth parts of the beetle in the desert. Other insects are the sand spider which is deadly toxic.
When Will Iraq Revalue Their Dinar?
If you have invested in the Iraqi dinar, you no doubt wonder when the country’s new currency will be revalued and put back on the international stage.
As investors and speculators, we want it done yesterday, or last year! However, on the world stage there is much more at stake.
You can read posts all over the net, mostly on forums about what may and may not be holding up the Iraqi Dinar RV, but most of it is pure speculation. Most of these folks have no more solid of a clue than you do on when it might happen!
However, let’s look at what we do know.
We know that Iraq can never be a real sovereign country without an international currency. We know that there is a TON of money involved, and that the central bankers of the world stand to make the most from Iraq’s currency. We know that Iraq has oil, and that many corporations and nations around the world want to get their hands on that liquid resource!
We also know that there is a lot of civil unrest in the world, and that Iraq could become the shinning star of the middle east.
So why is it taking so long to revalue Iraq’s currency?
If you want a real answer, I suggest that you take a look at a documentary movie titled “Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man”. This is the video version of a book written by John Perkins. I think the movie goes into some detail that the book leaves out. You can view some of Perkins documentary online at sites like YouTube.
Basically, Perkins shows how the corporations and bankers of the world (through the IMF, Worldbank, and the FED) control world governments and politicians. Especially new governments or governors! This is exactly what I think is going on in Iraq. Many seem to think that the Iraqi politicians are the bad guys (personally I think nearly all politicians are crooks), but they may actually be holding out for what is best for the people of Iraq.
If you watch Perkins’ movie, you will see that when the bankers and corporations get what they want, the people normally suffer. If they don’t get what they want, they send in the what he calls the “Jackals”. These Jackals have been known to overthrow governments and more. They normally cause uprisings that lead to new officials taking over the government. I can’t help but wonder if this might be what happened in Egypt? This may well have been the Jackal warning that the new government of Iraq better give the corporations and bankers what they want or else – “look here at what we could do to your country”.
Of course I’m speculating as are the folks in the forums. One thing is for sure. If you have placed your bet with the bankers by investing in dinar, you are on the side that almost always gets what they want!
