Quote:If you're going to bitch about it at least get it right. The US doesn;t need to go to war for oil, we can buy it and the human lives it costs alot cheaper. We went to war for greater economic opportunities in civilian defense contracting.
Death is not a matter to "bitch about".

Quote:Thus, the primary motive of the war - mobilising Iraqi oil production to sustain global oil flows and moderate global oil prices - has, so far, been fairly successful according to the International Energy Agency.
Eleven years on, there should be no doubt that the 2003 Iraq War was among the first major resource wars of the 21st century. It is unlikely to be the last.
When you strike Iraq, then Libya, you begin to draw attention. Maybe America doesn't need oil in terms of reserves and production; but it needs every producer of oil to hold the economy of the world like it did after WW2. Controlling the prices of the black gold is what making the dollar what it is; remember.
War changes prices.
Quote: Being bombed to death happens once and is over in an instant. Apparently, for an interest in pecker..some people will be tortured for eternity. I don;t mind that you see me our my government as a villain...but at least be consistent. Besides, I;m not the bombing type. I like to be able to taste their breath when I end them. Sporting chance.
And who gives anybody the right, to kill me and call it a "collateral damage"?
If your interest cannot be satisfied but by dropping the innocent dead, then don't do it.
We're speaking about death; not pain. I'm not comparing bullets to bombs. death is death.
