The millions put in the ovens might not share your views if they had the opportunity of an opinion that life gives us.

Of course, attacking Germany and killing hundreds of thousands of Germans would be a small price to pay for avoiding accepting hundreds of thousands more Jewish refugees, sending significant Western forces to protect the Polish ally from potential German attack etc.... My father was very lucky to eventually get a visa to Britain in March 1939 and only because his parents were already there and they were already there because they had enough money to do so.

been able to get away with MURDER because we have been afraid of the oil weapon.

There's nothing unreasonable about $20-30 a barrel oil.... those countries should get some return on liquidating a nonrenewable resource.

You seem about the only guy I come across who says that oil justifies the war. Normally people say oil doesn't justify the war and the pro war camp says "oil has nothing to do with it". Well we know oil does have something to do with it, which is protecting Saudi Arabia, Kuwait etc. from the Iraqi threat. Other countries without oil might not be so lucky in getting Western protection. But that is not unreasonable.... that is the real world. Attacking Iraq to put their oil on the market at the low rates Western countries want is a different matter.
