hmaly,
re: A good part of the reason we are in the middle east, is because of the oil. How come you don't back the war then, so we can assure access to that oil, until we can develop an alternative.
Glad to see you finally agree that "it's all about the oil".
I don't back the war, or the possible future wars, for several reasons. First, I don't think they will be successful. Second, I don't think that a country that was founded on the high moral ground of Democracy should be taking over other countries/regions in a grab for their natural resources. Third, a whole lot of folks have died and will die, on both sides.
As far as "until we have alternatives", we are not heading in that direction, in fact, the opposite. And our politicians (R/D) are not providing leadership in that direction. It's all about oil, not energy.
