I must agree with photogrunt on the oil thing.
It doesn't make sense to fork out billions of dollars and sacrifice life just for oil. Dr. Evil might do it
"why make billions, when we could make millions"
If they wanted Iraq's oil, they could easily have got the sanctions eased and simply bought it.
As it stands now, it will cost many billions of dollars just to get the oil fields operational. Also, the world is watching, the Americans couldn't get away with stealing any oil.
I must admit, I am dissapointed that no WMD's have been found as of yet. Even without the weapons, I feel the war was just, those people are human beings, not sheep. We have a responsibillity as free democratic people to care about them. There is no room in this world for brutal dictators.
Having said that, I feel if the Americans don't forward the evidence for these WMD's, their credibility will be seriously jeopardized, so the next time they make claims such as 'Iran is harboring terrorists' and they threaten to use force, they will be hard pressed to find help.
As far as George Bush being a Christian...who knows...I give the guy the benefit of the doubt on this one, he says he believes, he says he's a Christian, and until it is proven otherwise, I believe him. I know whenever there's a person in such a high office holding supreme power, there will be many conspiracy theorists making all kinds of claims. Oh he's a mason, or he's the devil, or his mom dresses him funny. no one can prove any of it.
I am just thankful that it's the American's running the world theatre and not some warped dictator. So people can moan and complain all they want...that's the point...they can complain, do you know what happens to complainers in a dictatorship?
