getting a little tired of the old "oil war" saw.....
if you can think of a better reason to do anything,including go to war,please post it...
if one of these pathetic middle eastern dictators or terrorists ever gets his hands on nuclear technology and/or weapons,life as we know may come to a screeching halt...
if saddam`s osirak nuclear plant(french provided and built,btw)not been bombed out of existence in the early "80`s" by israel,he would probably have had nuclear weapons when he went into kuwait....which means,he either still has kuwait to this day,or,we roll the dice and maybe start a nuclear conflagration in the middle east...those scuds he lobbed into israel while we were extricating him from kuwait could have easily been nukes....he would have liked nothing better than to start a holy war vs the israelis.....it`s what he wanted to do...he stated as much...
well,israel either gets obliterated or retaliates...then the whole middle east is engulfed in an all out conflict that more than likely seriously impairs a good portion of the world`s oil supply and obviously causes tremendous hardship and possibly ww3....and that hardship would be felt in the u.s. as badly as anywhere in the world...
this country doesn`t work without oil...i know we get oil from venezuela and canada....but,the middle east is the hub....
i can`t think of a better reason to go to war....i like driving to work....i like having heat in wintertime.....i`m not interested in seeing our economy collapse...
there is no better reason....
