Homework 22.1.2011

Der Irakkrieg ist das unmittelbare Ergebnis der Arbeit von amerikanischen Städteplanern Mitte der 20iger Jahre und es war unvermeidlich. - Nicht wegen den Massenvernichtungswaffen, wie es die ... behauptet, auch nicht wegen des westlichen Imperialismus, wie es die Linken behaupten. Der unvermeidliche Grund dieses Krieges und der folgenden ist der amerikanische Hingabe zu Autos.

Im frühen 19ten Jahrhundert ersetzten Busse die Trambahnen und Busse wurden von Autos ersetzt, indem General Motors die restlichen Trambahnen aufkaufte um diese zu schließen.

Autos boten die Möglichkeit von dreckigen und vollen Städten in Vororte mit viel Grün zu entkommen die über Freeways verfügen, die als Fluchtwege dienen. Deshalb verwandelte sich Amerika in eine Nation von Hausbesitzern, die in riesigen, weitverbreiteten Vororten leben und es dadurch unmöglich wurde die wirtschaftlichen Leistungen mit Hilfe des öffentlichen Transportwesens zu tragen. Heutzutage ist der amerikanische Transportsektor weitestgehend vom Öl abhängig und die Vorräte gehen aus. Amerika braucht Öl und Saddam Hussein saß auf der weltweit zweitgrößten Ölquelle.
