Well, pardner. First of all, what kind of capitalist sneers at "economic reasons"?

And neither do I. The only difference is that I wouldnt go to war over it. I would find an alternative.

The main reason we dont invest in looking for an alternative is that the oil companies will lose their golden goose and then all the money they screwed us out of with their oil depletion allowance wont be sufficient to maintain them in the top economic stratosphere.

Its these oil companies that derive the most economic benefit. And you care so much about them that you are willing to send young American kids to get killed. I would rather eat only once a day than have even one of these young kids killed. Of course if the old politicians or the oil company executives were willing to go and get killed, I would not object as vehemently.
