11. The US-written oil law is a travesty of colonialism and imperialism!

No self-respecting Iraqi, or American, should support the rape of Iraq's resources. The oil law will give foreign oil companies total control over Iraq's oil, and it will bar a future Iraqi government from making changes to the law.

The American drafted oil law smacks of the colonialism that produced such gems as the Platt Amendment that gave America the right to intervene at will in Cuban affairs as a condition for "independence."

Of all the Democratic Presidential candidates, only Dennis Kucinich has been honest and forthright enough to tell the American people about the true nature of the oil law.
