Actually, I agree with you. My statement you quoted was just to draw two very distinct views of our actions. However, I believe there are more reasons we are in Iraq.
1. The oil - you covered this. 2. Protection of Isreal by NeoConservatives in the Administration. 3. Launching point for other military action in the region. 4. Economic Interest 5. Killing the UN. Not the original goal. However, the Republicans love this one. 6. Removing a future threat. 7. Take focus off of Bin Laden 8. Win previous elections. There is more... That is off the top of my head.
Your absolutely right! I would hate to see a person with ethics and conviction lead this country. I'm with you scumbag.
Listen, as far as I was led to believe this invasion wasn't about setting up a Venture Capital Investment for American Corporations(insert Halliburton or other oil company here) needs in Iraq. This is about removing a threat to the US and liberating Iraq. At least that is what I am spoonfeed from Fox News.
When you do something from your heart and the good of the nation you shouldn't expect "anything in return". Your "vision" is the destruction of our core American Democratic values.
The planet where we use a question mark at the end of a question.
BTW - Iraq had nothing to do with Sept. 11th. You know that? I hope Saddam goes to hell when we get him. However, I also hope that America doesn't become an empire. We are setting some terrible examples for other countries. Sept. 11th isn't an excuse for us to become tyrants also.
When we are done with Iraq, where are we going next? I am sure there are many other rotten dictators out there with zero oil in their countries. Do you think we are going there next? Don't bet on it!
I would feel much better if the US made the commitment to not have any economic interest in Iraq. There should be no US based company getting contracts for oil. Same goes for cell phone standards. KEEP YOUR GREEDY LITTLE HANDS OFF OF IRAQ!
We are going to war with Iraq for the freedom of the people, not the plunder. Right?
Calling RedHat the MS of the LinuxWorld is delusional and a political spin of an opinion. What that statement does is equate RedHat with the sleazy M$. We both know that RedHat isn't MS. Saying "I think RedHat is making technological decisions that are effecting the Linux world in a bad way", is different than wraping them up in the M$ flack.
Come on! This is business, not morning public television kids. Red Hat, Mandrake, and SuSE are all competition. And offering a rebate is hardly underhanded. What you crying about is that you don't want distros be real businesses.
Plus, it is pretty pathetic that people will use this as a sour grapes platform for (insert your favorite distro here). It is terrible to see people stoop to lying just for their favorite distro with comments like "Red Hat is the M$ of the Linux world".
Red Hat is where it is today because they have made the right moves at the right times. Why is their success such a lightning rod to some losers?

I saw it coming a miles away. I guess I should have had money. That would have helped.

You should be ashamed!
