This may come as a shock to you, but this isn't about oil. Cheers.

I disagree. Just about all human conflict has been over resources. Oil is no different.

Well oil is fungible. So that is not a causus belli in my opinion.

Well, I believe that it would be foolish to say that oil isn't at least a small part of this conflict. Pragmatism is a solid value in America.

I am more concerned about the threat that Hussein poses to America though.
