See how you do.
Q1. Why is the US even in Iraq and the Mid-East anyway?
a) To set the people free
b) For the historical Bush family cronyism (ask yourself who built the infrastructure)
c) For the current Bush family cronyism (ask yourself who stands to lose if the Iraqis nationalise the infrastructure)
d) It’s the oil, stupid
e) None of the above, it’s what Jesus would do
Q2. Why is the UK even in Iraq and the Mid-East anyway?
a) To set the people free
b) New love is strong love, and bestest friends always stick together no matter what don’t they?
c) It’s the oil, stupid
d) Because Brits feel bad if Americans don’t have unlimited, inexpensive fuel for their millions of Humvees
e) Because Tony Blair always wanted to be T.E. Lawrence (that’s Lawrence of Arabia for those of you who failed your “O” levels)

Another excellent post. Can I add a question?
Why don’t the US/UK pull out of Iraq?
a) It would make Bush and Blair look like idiots for going in in the first place
b) With 150,000 troops on the ground in Iraq, and the largest contingent of spies anywhere in the world we’re bound to find the insurgents one day
c) It saves having a lot of soldiers hanging around with no one to fight
d) You can’t trust the Iraqis to run their own country
