It isn't about cheap oil, although that answer will be always be given by anyone who opposes anything, done by anyone, for any reason in the Middle East.
Something you don't like happening in the Middle East? It must be about the oil! It couldn't possibly be about anything else.

Well in his speech bush talked about that Saddam is an immidiate threat to the middle east and the world. because he has attacked neighbours (Iran) and killed people in his own country(Kurds). Okey I admit he is an threat to the peace in the middle east...
But wait a second... Threat to the peace in middle east? Attacking his neighbors? Killing people in his own country? Doesn't that describe Ariel Sharon pretty accuratly too, fat insane maniac, who has never shown any indication that he's willing to talk about peace. Bombing civilians, shooting kids, pregnant women and people that have nothing to do with this war of his, against people so desperate to get their own land back they resort to blowing them selves up in public. And the US support him??? I think thats called a double standard... But then again I'm probably wrong. |

No doubt similarities may be drawn, but Isreal is constantly on the defensive, and while they kill civilians in their attacks against Palestinian Terrorists, the Palestinian Terrorists purposely target innocent men, women, and children.
Saddam's act against the Kurds was ethnic cleansing. Even if you believe both are wrong, does that mean Saddam shouldn't be stopped? Israel has nukes, but doesn't use them. Do we want to take that chance with Saddam?

This is a fight as old as time. The Old Testament itself is basically the story of a religion that develops while a few groups of people chase each other back and forth across the subcontinent. Some biblical cities have been rebuilt 8 times - and you can dig straight down through all 8 collecting artifacts. It's a fight no one can stop - and likely no side will ever die out fully. I sympathize with Israel's plight. They live a life surrounded by and infiltrated by enemies. But, Sharon is certainly a step backwards as far as their leadership goes. |
