Well, so much for a conversation anyway. I suppose it was hopeless ab initio. Douglas, whatever your disposition is, you summarized it correctly, I think.

And I would have agreed, by the way, that the "war" (if you can call it that) had nothing to do with oil until we took a permanent military base in the area, to compensate for the one we are losing in Saudi Arabia. If you believe it was to "free" Iraquis, we might as well argue about Who lyrics. I prefer Baba O'Reilly.
