I have NO PROBLEM with your perception that America needs oil with a capital O. You feel that America will and should go to war to get that oil. I dont have a problem with tha either because America does go to war and set up puppet governments to get that oil. My problem is that America doesnt have the guts to speak the truth and say why they are going to war. Instead she decieves the world telling them how benevolent she is in helping other countries. I dont have a problem with that either. My problem is that the soldiers who are sent to war and their families are decieved. If they knew the real reason, I doubt many families would agree to send their children or spouses in harms way. That's what happened in Vietnam. People finally realized that many american soldiers had given up their lives for purposes which had nothing to do with defending the nation. Thats when people revolted and the Govt. finally had to unilaterally quit vietnam in shame and shambles.
