The Mother Of All Battles: For Oil

This is an essay on the ongoing “Mother of all Battles” ,for oil, where the US led West , mercifully , is losing some ground .Starting with brutal colonial exploitation dubbed the so called burden of civilization (the westerners reaching Asia were certainly almost barbarians, as they still remain in many ways, or Christopher Columbus, a greedy and brutal genocidal murderer of ‘Indians’ in the new world – anointed a Christian saint). It then became development and globalization and in case of Iraq , simple gobblisation of its oil resources led by decision makers , who have broken almost all international laws and conventions and USA’s own internal laws, a country which is becoming less free and more dictatorial , with one party like consensus.

The inherent racist discourse by western leaders , its propaganda machine and people , kept under some check by socialist and non-aligned watchdogs in cold war era is resurfacing , after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
