Yksi hullu kysyy enemmän kuin kymmenen viisasta vastaa. Lähden nyt leikkiin hetkeksi, mutta suosittelen aktiivista median seuraamista. Olettaen tietysti ettet ole puhdas atlantisti-trolli.
The Bush administration has angered British unions by selecting only US companies to bid on a £560 million contract to rebuild Iraq after any conflict.
A detailed request for proposals has been sent out to five firms in what is expected to be the largest reconstruction effort since post-war Germany and Japan.
Ellen Yount from the US Agency for International Development said there had been a limited selection process because of the "urgent nature" of the work.
Some union leaders in the UK said they were disappointed that British companies were left off the list.

Some believe it is about protecting civilians, others say it is about oil, but some are convinced intervention in Libya is all about Gaddafi’s plan to introduce the gold dinar, a single African currency made from gold, a true sharing of the wealth.
“It’s one of these things that you have to plan almost in secret, because as soon as you say you’re going to change over from the dollar to something else, you’re going to be targeted,” says Ministry of Peace founder Dr James Thring. “There were two conferences on this, in 1986 and 2000, organized by Gaddafi. Everybody was interested, most countries in Africa were keen.”

To gain a better understanding about which groups purchase U.S. government securities (that is, who the government is borrowing from), it is helpful to break down ownership of U.S. Treasury securities into two broad categories of debt: the amount held by the Federal Reserve and Government accounts and the amount that is privately held. For a more detailed breakdown, see Chart 1.
As of December 2005:
Total Public Debt =
Holdings by the Fed
and Government accounts
+ private holdings
$8,171 billion
$4,200 billion (51.4%)
$3,971 billion (48.6%)
Tuo nyt jo vanhaa tilastoa. Linkistä lisää. Antaa suuntaa kuitenkin. Puolet Fedillä, neljännes muilla mailla, toinen neljännes amerikkalaisilla uunoilla.
Esimerkiksi Japanilla olisi todennäköisesti jo runsaasti haluja luopua dollarista "reservivaluuttana", eli käytännössä he haluaisivat luopua Yhdysvaltojen velan omistamisesta. Sama tietty öljymaiden osalta. Kaikki velan haltijat häviävät jatkuvasti. Noista velkakirjoista saatu tuotto ei vastaa todellista inflaatiota.
