I'm not one of those. I recognize that our leaders can do stupid things. I do not support my country when it is in the wrong. But I'm tired of this 'war for oil' bullshit. I see no evidence for it. The national Democratic party doesn't seem to either because they don't use it against Republicans - unless they are in on it too?
I accept that I may be naive and am not seeing it. I invite anyone to show me the evidence for a 'war for oil'. If you can't, it would be best to hold yourself to the same standards we demand of the other side: Don't spout shit you can't back up with facts.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
