"And even more important than "oil", it's about the survival of democractic ideals and denying a fanatical and militant enemy the ability to control our economies." --------- Nope. Iraq is all about OIL. Always has been, always will be. Ask Iraq war architect Wolfowitz who dreamed about flooding the world with cheap Iraqi oil and destroying the economy of OPEC. STOP USING THE BIG LIE. Iraq was never about AQ, terrorism, 911 or OBL. KNOCK OFF THE BIG LIE. The very least this country owes the 2035 KIA and those wounded for life is the truth.

And even more important than "oil", it's about the survival of democractic ideals and denying a fanatical and militant enemy the ability to control our economies., Nope. It is about imposing democracy on them. Just like the Ruskies imposing communism on countries. Just like China imposing it on Tibet. Ain't no difference between imposing democracy and communism, except we are the "good guys", so that makes it ok. Wrong. And, it's wasn't about democracy in the first place. Only oil (and empire). You said it right there... "denying a fanatical and militant enemy the ability to control our economies". Over here, we call that "oil".
