I am against it, and I am not an idiot.

1) "It's all about oil!" Like hyperactive brats who get hold of one phrase and repeat it endlessly, this naive and prissy mantra is enough to drive to the point of madness any person who actually attempts to think beyond the clichés. Like "Whatever!" it is one of the few ways in which the dull-minded think they can have the last word in any argument. So what if it is about oil, in part? Are you prepared to give up your car and central heating and go back to the Dark Ages? If not, don't be such a hypocrite. The fact is that this war is about freedom, justice - and oil. It's called multitasking. Get used to it!
I do agree that oil is one of the many reasons, however, I do not agree with other two that you mentioned, Freedom and Justice. Sure, Iraqi people wants freedom, they want to get rid of Saddam, but they do not, I repeat DO NOT want America to do it. They absolutely hate USA. CNN might be telling you that american soldiers are freedom fighters, but to Iraqi people, they are new problems. This war will damage their property, lives etc...and they already have had enough, they dont want anymore.


I have many other points to add, but unfortunately, I am at school at this moment, and the class ends in two minutes. So I will continue when I get back home, till then, good bye.
