Reply #5: It's all about the Benjamins...

As with any other war, it's all about the resources you'll be grabbing if you win. Land, oil, treasure; whatever. At the end of the day, war is simple. It's about taking everything that the other guy has.

If you buy in to the tissue-paper thin rationale of 'spreading democracy' just remember; it's being done at the point of a gun...so, I'd say that it's probably not really freedom we're injecting there.

Occam's razor really applies here; the thing that's most likely to be true probably is. In this case, the 2nd largest oil reserves on Earth are in play, but this administration constantly denies that all that wealth isn't what this is about.

There's two possibilities then; either they're lying, or telling the truth. With their track-record, which do you think it is?

Oh; you're assuming that the administration consideres 'brown people' as co-equal human beings; they don't.
