>>Besides it's the oil weapon that counts. The threat od $40 or higher that can be held over our heads...Until that weapon is taken away we will be at their mercy. >> So what is it that this $40 weapon does to us ? Prevents us from affording always-on air conditioning in our 4,000 sq. ft. houses, or fueling up those Suburbans ? Pure agony. Wouldn't want to put our minds to developing alternatives or exercising a little conservation, would we ? We're American, and we've got the right to do whatever we damn well please. Goddam ! It's a good thing that the weapons we use won't make them suffer like us. Cluster bomb shrapnel through the torso is far less of an inconvenience than driving a slightly smaller car, ain't it ? How 'bout that kid who lost both arms and 10 family members in one of the bombing raids of the past few days ? It's unfortunate that it has to happen this way, but we can't have them charging us too much for that oil of ours under their sand. It's about greed, arrogance, and the American Way - bloodthirsty and violent - unless you do what we say. And ever since 2000, it comes with a swagger. Afghanistan was a counter measure, pursuing those who attacked us. Iraq is empire building. I hope the average Iraqi does come out of this better after the long period of sorting out this mess, but if there was no oil there, can you say that anyone in the current white house would give a shit about them ? Something tells me they're just switching one form of oppression for another. Put on your thinking fez, pezz.
