"We can" do a lot of things, but that doesn't mean we will any more than it means we should.

Are you really that cynical that you think our leadership would defy American and World public opinion, Congress, governments of the World, and the UN (assuming, as you apparently have, that they can't make a case that will sway opinion and gain support) and invade Iraq, costing thousands of American lives (any many more Iraqi lives) as well as our standing in the World, just to get their hands on Iraqi oil fields?

Or are you even more cynical than that, perhaps even paranoid, seeing a grand Orwellian conspiracy to seize absolute power and control through propaganda and constant warfare?

I'm not sure whether you are cynical or dumb, or just being an ass and pretending to be cynical. In any case, your "point" is truly dumb.
