Why can't we take oil from the countries we are dying for and helping to straighten out for payment?

Question

It would solve gas prices and you can't tell me that Bush hasn't done worse things than this.

Answer 1

Maybe Israel needs the oil more for its own "war" against the countries where US soldiers are dying for.

Answer 2

It's an appalling commentary on the US that it can be remotely acceptable for people to consider this. What possibly gives you the right to take anything from another country? In civilised societies things are sorted out through trade - not invasion. Using wars to just invade and take resources is not an acceptable answer to anything in the 21 century. Why not just invade and kill people for organ donations - that way you'd have no waiting lists for organ transplants - would that be acceptable? Try thinking of it from the other side. If you were the mother of an Iraqi child would you think it OK that the US invade, steal your oil, maybe rape some of your friends, and destroy most of the country's power supply and water system. You then have to feed your child dirty water, accept that they have no future and maybe stand by as someone rapes your child. And this is an innocent bystander that did nothing to anyone. Just so you can drive an SUV? How would you like it? OF course, they don't show that on the ads for the new Ford cars - but that's what the thirst for oil feeds. Until you get over your primitive need for carbon fuels you'll always be neanderthals.

Answer 3

Countries we are dieing for? You mean the one we invaded on false pretenses? The which in which we've killed tens of thousands of their men, women, and children?

Answer 4

What countries are we dying for? They don't want us in their neighborhoods.

Answer 5

Because it is their oil and we are INVADING them for it.
