We are doing a little lying of own about the reason for the war. That France has economic interests in that region is of no surprise. That we claim purity in our actions rankles the rest of the world. All of NATO supported us in the last Gulf War because it was in their interests to do so. But they supported us knowing we would never go to Baghdad and occupy Iraq. This war is different. The US is proposing occupation of a country with the second largest oil reserve in the world. Of course France and Germany and many others would oppose this. But since war is going to happen they will try to get a finger in the pie as well- if only to counter our power in the region.
The reason for the war is simple.
Post 9/11, countries led by tyrants which harbor terrorists, threaten America, with a history of brutal deployment of WMD will no longer be contained, they will be eliminated pre-emptively.
It is simple. Do you understand that you cannot retaliate effectively when D.C. or N.Y. are no longer there?
Stop being a chump, and be a Crusader, a Warrior for Good.
Debating about U.S. oil motives is really infantile.
How many oil wells did we keep last Gulf war?
