Most experts agree that it wasn’t the desire to introduce democracy to Iraq that provided the driving force for the current war. In fact, Cheney and Rumsfeld have been nurturing the idea for decades. To protect the national security of the United States, the energy supply must be secured. And control of the oil in the Middle East was vital to the energy supply. Recently released secret documents from the administration of George H.W. Bush provide the proof that the U.S. would be prepared to protect those interests by military force if necessary. George W. Bush has clung tightly to this school of thought. Mission Accomplished documents how access to Iraqi oil, a business worth billions, and the activities of the U.S. administration under George W. Bush to secure Iraqi terrain for future big business, were the real reasons for starting the war.


Helmut Grosse was born in 1938 in Hamburg. He was trained at Axel Springer in print media.
