"US have made a profit of $20 billion from the Gulf War, meaning that it happened more for financial reason than for the right of freedom."
Could it be the same reason of the war against Iraq? How much will the US gain from this war?

Exxy I followed the link given in the powerpoint and this is what I found:
English abstract for international readers
A chain letter, often accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation that claims to have originated from the authoritative Milan Polytechnic Institute, alleges that the Gulf War did not cost a cent to the US, because it was ultimately paid by "us" (presumably, "us Europeans", as opposed to "them Americans") through higher oil prices, which are claimed to have benefited only "US state-owned oil companies" such as "Tamoil and Shell".
The data and information given in this chain letter is riddled with errors: for example, Tamoil and Shell are not "US state-owned oil companies", and Tamoil is most definitely not a US company at all, state-owned or not. The rest of the chain letter is just as inaccurate.
All these errors, inaccuracies and inconsistencies have been admitted publicly by the author of the original PowerPoint presentation, who is merely a somewhat reckless and overenthusiastic student of the Polytechnic. The presentation is not an official piece of research and is not endorsed in any way by the Milan Polytechnic.
The author of the chain letter is publicly asking everyone not to distribute it. You can read his statement on the matter below.
The rest of this page is in Italian. If you feel like preparing a translation in other languages, please feel free to do so, and let me know, so I can link to it
am confused now
:confused:
