Are you from the United States? Sure doesn't seem like it by the way you refer to the country. Now I'm really not interested in divulging my opinion on the matter but I would just like to say that I think you discredit your argument by talking about the "war for oil." Not only is that argument old-hat and everyone is tired of hearing it, but it's fairly overblown as well. Did you know Iraq is the 6th leading country when it comes to US oil imports? We get about four times as much oil from Canada as we do from Iraq. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that if you involve the oil debate in this issue you are really just wasting your time.
