RE: [DMCForum] Bush Invaded Iraq, Not Michael Moore...

[Travis Goodwin <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's all about money. It always has and always will be. Our dependence on
oil has existed for since the invention of the internal combustion engine,
that's nothing new. 

It's also true that the US is the police of the world, like it or lump it.
We are the most powerful nation in the world and as such have a
responsibility to achieve stability in unstable regions. We have more allies
in the Middle East that we do enemies. So, we protect them and their
interests as well, be it oil or freedom.

It's easy to say it's a mistake to have invaded when looking
retrospectively. Look at it this way... if on September 12, 2001 you learned
that there were possible links to Al Qaeda and Iraq, would you have wanted
to bomb them until the sand fused into glass?

Tyrants and terrorists recognize one thing: action

If there was no Oil in Iraq, we would not give a shit
about them at all...  There are plenty of tyrant
dictators around the world who do horrible things, but
they are not sitting on a shit load of light sweet
crude.

Maybe if Ronald Regan did not do a ton of illegal
stuff to make Carter look like a dope (Negotiating
with Iran to keep the American hostages until Regan
was in office), Carter would have won the election and
we would not be so dependent on oil.  But in true
republican form, all of the democrat projects are
blindly scrapped when the administration changes (We
are still half Metric, half SAE thanks to Regan). 

Not to get on a big Regan rant, but he created the
situation we are in now, along with his VP Bush Sr.

Even if the Bush administration could prove Iraq had
WMD (or even a real WMD program, at this point!)  What
evidence is there that he would have the desire, or
ability to use them on Americans?!  Still NO LINK
between Binladen and Iraq.

It was great that F911 pointed out how fear is being
used to manipulate the American people..  Sure, we can
accuse Moore of the same thing because I am scared of
Dubya!
