A headline to a recent article in The Irish Times declared that if the main produce of Iraq was bananas war would not be on the agenda. I believe that to be the case. I am convinced the issue is concerned with oil. However, while America will always look after its own interests, including its business interests, it will fight against regimes like Saddam Hussein's. Whatever may be said about the United States, people like me can visit the country and criticise the President. In this country I can criticise the Taoiseach and the President. While I may be politically assassinated, I will not be assassinated in the way I would be in Baghdad.
