Response to question about gas prices

Jim you miss my point entirely. The men and women of our armed forces are heroes in my book. Their lives are far too valuable to be wasted supporting one absolutist nation over. That does not change the reason we went into that war. I spent my time in combat for the United States also. We defended oil, the demonization of Hussain, an admittedly deserving target, was just window dressing. We did not go into Camobia where millions were slaughtered, nor in several of the recent African nations where ethnic war was rampant. We did not even defend the Kurds or ensure they had a homeland when we defeated Hussain and had the opportunuty. Our leadership defends only the economic interest and wraps it in the colors you and I both hold dear. Our people have a great heart, but the political leadership use it against us to achieve their desired results.
