Hi Karen;

Concerning Reasons why US control of Iraqi oil may be a pipedream, ...Oil, Iraq and America

When I get to dogmatic statements like this:

It is the prospect of uncontested access to the world's second-largest oil reserves--leading to the end of America's growing reliance on petroleum from Saudi Arabia, the homeland of most of the 9/11 hijackers--that excites popular imagination in the United States. And the US hawks, who are determining Iraq policy, know it.

Well, I decide I'm simply wasting my time and stop reading.

Please raise your bar of acceptability for posting. Thank you.
