A notable absence in here is the USA neocon warmongers attacking the middle east countries to plunder their oil and other resources. Iraq, et al. When we destroyed and plundered Libya there were as best I recall 1, 200,000 Ounces of gold looted out of their central bank ! Disappeared into whose pockets? Our leaders and the CIA is a good guess. IMHO. They have never stopped demonizing and lusting after Iran, but so far it looks to be to big and smart and to well armed to take it over.
