There are probably a dozen dictators in Africa who are equally bad. Why not get rid of them too.

Even worse, N. Koreans are about to build a bomb, if they have not done so already. They already have chemical and biological weapons. If they are crazy enough, they just might sell these weapons to the terrorists. Why not invade N. Korea too.

Nope, I still think oil is the main reason for invading Iraq.

If it was about oil, we'd lift the sanctions. Sheesh, that's obvious.

We can't police the whole world, nor do we want to. Africa is a sad case of the legacy of colonialism and the Cold War.

We are working on North Korea as we speak. We are addressing the problems they present in a different fashion.

My suggestion is for back to your fluffy university comrades where you can hear all the nice punditries expounded from the ivory towers of your instructors. You'll never have to work hard or produce anything. Just keep repeating the mantra "Hillary for Prez".

Have a nice day.

Even if it was about oil as Rush Limbaugh said so what?

As for North Korea we should nuke them NOW!

If oil is the reason for invading then why didn't we take the oil in 91? I think you're confusing us with France who does have huge oil deals with Iraq.

Are you "thinking" that, or just mindlessly apeing the appeasement smear? If the former please provide your theory as to how it is about oil. So far no one has provided a coherent theory, just sloganeering. As another poster noted we could get lower oil prices, or oil exploitation contracts, in exchange for dropping sanctions. (See: Behavior of France) If we preferred, we could also get higher oil prices by not going to war. See:
