Truth of War on Terror in Oil Rich Countries and the U.S.
It is said that Saudi Arabia earned about US$154 billion from oil production in 2005 and is expected to earn US$160 billion in 2006.
Iraq reportedly earned US$23.4 billion in 2005 and is expected to earn US$35 billion, though the country has US$60 billion of foreign liabilities and needs to invest about US$7 billion into reconstruction of its oil facilities and power plants.
When the U.S. military presence is over and all of its troops are withdrawn, will Iraqi people get united to boost their oil production and business to the level of Saudi Arabia, though their ratio is currently almost one to five?
With a friendly and peaceful alliance between oil-rich Saudi Arabia and Iraq, will terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda be eradicated?
Isn't it the minimum objective of the War on Iraq, if the U.S. cannot make a friend of Iraq?

Including a forecast of expenses of the Wan on Terror in FY2007, the U.S. has reportedly spent almost 600 billion dollars for this war in these years.
The total amount of annual government expenditure of the U.S. is 2,568 billion dollars in FY2006 with 427 billion dollars deficits in 2005.
Therefore the U.S. spends 5% of its expenditure budget per year for its first war in the 21st century, which also exerts a serious influence on its deficits.

Without mentioning human casualties, it looks like a big waste of resources.
If you are the President of the USA, would you also like to show your guts by spending almost the same amount of money every year to a war as Saudi Arabia earns yearly from oil?
God might give dollars to the U.S. just like Allah gives oil to Muslims.
If so, you should not use dollars for a war against Muslims at least in theory.
