[KC Burke]

I knew the reasons given for the war were a sham. I supported going to war to seize control of the oil, but that was never acknowledged as the reason (repeatedly and vociferously denied).

If you mean that we invaded to obtain the oil fields as US property, then you are indeed a child misled by propaganda.

Preserving the Iraqi natural resources to make it a viable economy not destroyed by a despot on the way out is more like it.

We need the oil, but that admission would require that we make massive investments into alternative energy resources, something that no administration has been willing to do so far. It would also require a candid assessment of population policies and resource use--again something no administration has been willing to discuss candidly with the American public.

So, in essecence you are saying that fear of facing a supposed immediate need to address alternatives to fossil fuels caused us to take out Saddam?
