Conflict of interests

Although I'm majored in computer science but I found myself very attracted to politics and everything about it from the main events to small things such as conspiracy theories and I try to find some answers for what is going around this crazy world.

Politics is connected to everything these days and if we focused a little bit we'll find that we apply some politics rules in our daily life from sending gifts to someone you don't even like to the way you deal with your friends and family.

The key word here is "interests"

Why do you smile to your boss every time you see him? It's simple, it's because you don't want to have any conflict with him that may lead to losing your job (which is the worst case scenario).

Now think big, what is the main reason for the war in Iraq?

"Oil" yes that one of them, add to that that Iraq was once an alley of the states but somewhere in the middle things have changed and became one of its worst enemies.

Yes Iraq had weapons and SOME high tech weapons and going to war that time would cost a LOT more than the cost today (yes even in that time eventually the US will win) so first they used the siege weapon to weaken the government and people will become more angry at the government and they will accept any other solution and that’s maybe one of the key things that helped the US to win this war in such a short time but the aftermath was not calculated correctly.

Now everything is a mess because even when Iraqi people was ruled by Saddam some groups had there own plan and they couldn't execute any of there plans because Saddam ruled the country like an Iron fist so when the war started they welcomed the US because war would put the country in too much chaos which would be a perfect opportunity for them to execute there plans, and this leads us to cults war which is what is happening now in Iraq.

Going back to the keyword "interests", Iraq have a lot of Oil and if Saddam was left to rule it would cause much troubles in the future so why waste time? And if a US friendly government ruled Iraq it would be much easier to get oil and save a lot of money, in addition to that Saddam was a threat to Israel and many other allies of the US in the Middle East if the problem wasn't solved immediately the consequences might be HUGE and might lead to a great war in the middle east which is the one of the main and maybe important suppliers of Oil in the world.

So it's not "democracy" or "enemies of freedom" or whatever excuses people are talking about in the media it's simply a conflict of interests.

So hey don't ask yourself why maybe in the coming 10 or 20 years the US will declare Egypt or even the UK as an enemy because in the end it's simply a conflict of interests and rules are made to be broken and if you're in the position of power no one will ask you WHY or HOW. I only took Iraq as in example because everyone has heard about it.
