No blood for oil.

Ah, yes, the famous leftist rallying cry from the Desert Storm era traitors, now being ululated by the Clownes for Browne. What the leftist ideologues didn't realize then and what you fail to realize now is that oil makes its way into all areas of the economy, from fertilizers to pharmaceutical to transportation. Hence, to allow a little Napolean such as Saddam Hussein to grab onto half the world's known oil supplies and dictate any price he wanted to would have caused massive starvation in places such as Africa. Ideologues again show their shallow rationalist mind-sets.

Patently ridiculous. Starvation in Africa is not the result of any insufficiencies in the world food supply. World per-capita food production has been increasing every decade without exception and is at its highest level in history, and that despite the allied embargo of Iraq, which certainly took Iraqi oil off the markets throughout much of the 1990s.

Starvation in Africa results primarily from the deliberate actions of corrupt Governments -- Governments such as Islamic governments in Sudan, practicing the "pure Islamic desert morality" advocated by Jihadist nut-bars as the "rejuvenation of Christianity" (see Cultural Jihad's homepage for details), who willfully restrict food supplies to starving regions, using starvation as a weapon against innocent people who reject the "pure Islamic desert morality" of the Jihadist regimes.

As always, you're Wrong.
