[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 28553, member: 39"] Oil? This war is about oil? Sorry, but I’m still trying to figure out what the problem with that is. If some group figured out how to cut off your oxygen would you fight for it? Like it or not, oil is oxygen to our economy and way of life. This is oil which we discovered for them. Until we came along they were just a bunch of illiterate flea-bitten bedouins who didn’t understand basic hygiene. Not only did we discover it for them, we developed an infrastructure for them and taught them how to recover it on their own and sell it to us for nine prices. Thanks to our investment and brains they are now some of the wealthiest nations on earth. That’s more than fair. And we’ve been OK with it. However, if certain groups of people can’t find a way to be satisfied with trading their oil for obscene wealth, but still find it necessary to murder our people and destroy our culture to feel good about themselves, then yeah, let’s get it on. There are [i]several[/i] completely legitimate reasons for us to be over there kicking but. Oil is [i]one[/i] of them. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
