Congress must enact a law ensuring that ownership of Iraqi oil is returned to the Iraqi people. Why is it that people with black skin go to prison in the U.S. in extraordinary numbers, yet a predominately white Congress and predominantly white White House are allowed to murder for oil yet nothing happens?
