I think the war is about establishing a successful capitalistic democracy in Iraq, which will in turn trigger revolutions in Iran, Saudia Arabia etc. I think it's about dragging the entire Middle East into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming to be sure. If successful it will be a great step forward for the Middle East. If not, then the Middle East will probably crash and burn. -Del
I think it is a stupid war for oil.

I said it before and I'll say it again: THIS FUGGIN' WAR IS ABOUT SOME BS! Biiitch, I mean, Bush, should've just stood and up said, "People of America...we can't find Osama Long Beard".
But instead of that, he goes to the NEXT big thing and tries to make like Sadaam really wanted us when he wasn't even thinking about us. Why look at the next man when someone has biiitch slapped you in the face? He only did that to save face and get some oil. Nothing more, nothing less.

Originally posted by thedeadtreeThere have been several videos released about the war in Iraq. There is no doubt that it is "an unnecessary war" from the standpoint of the American people. However, some of the information that has been released claims that a study was done about the furure of oil, and that the study said that by the year 2024 America would be at the mercy of oil producing countries. The study suggests that it was 'necessary' for the US to take whatever measures needed to protect it's power. Of course the American people are a proud and just people... therefore a 'reason' had to be made to take over Iraq.

I'm sorry, as an American, to say that most people fell for the government's propaganda. Namely, "Weapons of Mass Destruction". That was enough to start the war. Now the reason is to free the people of Iraq. That's why we're killing thousands of them... they just don't understand it's fir their own good! Once we conquor them we'll tell them which God to worship.. and so on. This is of course for their best interest.
