Is the war in Iraq all about oil because that is all I hear from the left. I talked to my friend Jason about this because it left me very perplexed....The lefts argument makes no sense AT ALL. He made some very good points. If all we wanted was the oil where is the sense in occupying the entire country? It would be much ceeper both pollitically and ecconomicly to just lift the embargo. Why invade Iraq, and take on the largest army in the region over a
difficult supply line, when superior results could be achieved with less risk by simply invading Qatar and the UAE? Why not invade Saudi Arabia? Why not invade Venezuela, for that matter - which would be much, much easier than supporting an army in Iraq? That is why this argument seem pretty stupid to me. I'd like to know what you think (and back it up with facts).
