uh I had a sort of debate with my professor on it.. and one thing I know is that Bush is fuking stupid for going to war on Iraq...his first reason for going to the middle east was to get osams bin laden..and than came hussein and his "nuclear weapons".. bush sends troops over there, finds no weapons..puts the soldiers there so that the U.S> could reform the government..however in that process he gets many soldiers killed and also bringing those heartbreaking news to their families.. and about the oil thing.. most of the oil is in saudi arabia and we are friends with that country.. and also saudi arabians, osama bin laden is from that country. although majority of the terrorists are there, we cant do jackshiet about it because we get oil from them..and if we do something about it, they could cut off the oil supplies with the U.S. and make U.S. fall deep financially.. ( i believe we are in debt.., 3 trillion dollars?) and so i dont really think it has anything to do with oil but i think what Bush is trying to do is to have a "pocket" in the middle east so that we would have an ally that is sort of like a backdoor countrY?.. in order to gain information about terrorists..and etc...
