Petrol Prices

Entry 15, on 2004-08-13 at 08:08:45 (Rating 3, Politics)

I see that, thanks to George W's little war in Iraq, we are about to get hit with record high oil prices. Well thanks a lot George, you're a great guy. At least your rich oil billionaire friends will probably do well out of it.

It goes way beyond just fuel prices too. Our whole economy will be affected, including increased mortgage interest rates. Just what we don't need!

Increased prices in New Zealand don't seem significant compared with the death and misery this war has caused in Iraq but it does show that everyone is affected, even "neutral" countries, like NZ.
