Logical? What is logical about correlating eliminating terrorism with greediness? That's your mistake. Separate the two, and get back to me ...

Without our greed for Middle East oil, 9/11 would not have occurred. Rev Wright had it right about our chickens coming home to roost!

When you build a house on a faulty foundation, don't be surprised when it falls.

Our house (country) built on foreign oil is falling, and you are right, I am not surprised. We are so dependent on the stuff we are prepared to sacrifice our young men an women and our economy to try to suck out the last drop.

Talk's cheap ... after the fact.

You know it's all about oil -- I know differently. Your position colors your perception of everything else.

We shall agree to disagree.

I have no idea what you mean by that. I was opposed to both wars and still am. Same position before and after "the fact."

Yes, reality does tend to strongly influence my perception.

We shall agree to disagree.
Yes, the majority of the country and myself agree to disagree with you.

SHOW ME THE OIL!

Where is this mythical Iraqi oil we went to war to get? Looks to me like demand is overrunning supply and prices are at record highs. Not consistent with your theory that we went to war to get Iraq;s oil!!!!!

The US gets around 4% of its oil from Iraq.

I think the more accurate statement is that part of the reason the US conquered Iraq was to secure the rights to the Iraqi oil for corporations.

If you are happy with what we've got, fine. I think not having a leader that acts like an A-Whole to the whole world, including our own country, is very good plan, "Skippy!"
