It is NOT about oil . It is about religon. When was the last time you heard a Lutheran just blew up a Baptist church? Condi is visiting countries, talking to heads of state where she would not even be eligible to have a drivers licence. Good job GI's bad job government. Come home.

Because if we 'let them sort it out' Iran, Syria and Turkey will invade and partition Iraq amongst themselves.
Keep in mind that 95% of the Iraqi people want to keep the democracy they created. The people committing the violence want to overthrow that democracy and replace it with a dictatorship with themselves in charge.
Whose side do you support - the Iraqi people or the terrorists?

We are still trying to be the policemen of the world because we still think we are the USA of the 1950s, that felt we should stand for and fight for what is correct, instead of the corrupt, money grabbing, decadent, sloven society that we are.
My friend you a living at the end of days. Right or wrong we took a stand and that is what has started the sequence of events that will lead to our demise. It is not about oil, it is not about religion, it is about power, control, hate, and payback. The hate goes back hundreds and in some cases thousands of years. Get a map of the world and mark which countries doe not get along with their neighbor. you will find it is about 40% of the populated portions of the earth.
These countries are populated by cast systems. and one cast hates all others. The problem is that portions of these cast systems are located in all of the the countires that have problems. In Iraq it is not a civil war it is a sectarian conflict. When the Democrats stop the funding for are troops and they are brought home, the beginning of the end will start. Israel will be the first to go up in flames, followed by Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Greece,Turkey and so on. Eventually it will spread to us. And then the cockroaches will be in charge.

The North may have never won the civil war if it wasn't for the French help we received... but it is about oil, its mostly now about making sure Iran doesn't control it, and that Iraq becomes and ally... thats why we are still there, not to police their civil war!

We are "policing" the world because someone in another country with some pull has requested us to do it. We don't go looking for the job but it seem that when we take on one of those jobs, someone always has to whine and cry about it till they get their way and when they don't get their way, they keep on whining, crying and make up numerous lies to try to stop it.

Control of oil is necessary to remain the dominant power.

The answer is simple and consistent throughout any superpower's history. Money and power. War is profitable.
