1. If oil is a good enough reason to fight then Bush should have come right out and said so. If the Congress and the public supported that as a reason for war, then go to war and damn the consequences.

All the utter bunkum about WMDs, 911 and democracy is to hide the issue of oil. In other words, oil is not a good enough reason to go to war at this time in this place.

2. the entire ME is responsible for the belligerent actions of the minoriity Then YOU are responsible for McVeigh and Rudolph. You are just as much a domestic terrorist as your average Middle Easterner is a jihadist.

Again, we are not in Iraq FOR 911. SH had nothing to do with 911. Bush acknowledged that. Cheney acknowledged that. The rest of the world acknowledged that way before they did.

3. Well if you sympathize with the leadership of Israel then you are on the progressive side. Sharon did a 180 degree turn and is now wary of assassination attempts from...Israelis.

Israelis have a basic problem called the demographic timebomb. Israeli women have 2 children on average to 6 children for Palestinians. This is one reason they cannot have a single state because they will be, eventually, the minority in it.

I don't think either side has any particular right to that land. Two people want one thing. They can fight over it, they can share it or they can divide it. Apparently, multi-generational fighting was more appealing than any other alternative.

4. Are you saying that there are capitalists arabs? You mean like those who have propped up the Bush family like the bin Ladens and the Saudis? Egads.

ExxonMobil had $32 billion in cash it didn't know what to do with. It is not hurting for profits. This war's biggest profiteer? Halliburton with non-compete, cost-plus and thoroughly anti-capitalist contracts.

After we found them guilty-guilty-guilty of stealing from the US taxpayer, we gave them a $72 million BONUS.
