Killing people for oil?

While I don't particularly care for conservative ideology, this is one of the mindless criticisms that simply does not hold water. It makes no sense if you look at things realistically.\n\nThis administration, especially when the US first invaded Iraq, was top-heavy with the same people who under President Reagan had convinced us that Saddam Hussein was our best friend in the Middle East. Second, just look at what has happened with Lybia, who was already in the process of settling the monetary claims from the families of the Lockerbee mass murder. Simply by SAYING that Lybia would no longer pursue nuclear weapons, President Khadaffi has been able to have all economic sanctions lifted and US investment is now recommended.\n\nIf the spin doctors of this administration can pretend that Khadaffi (who has murdered Americans while not at war) is a good guy, they could certainly have painted Hussein (who has not murdered Americans while not at war) as the new George Washington and Daniel Boone all rolled into one. The American people would have gladly accepted the idea that Hussein had mended his ways, and that we could stop our sanctions which were hurting everyone except the Baath Party. President Bush's oil friends would have been much happier simply buying discounted oil from Hussein (who would be desperate for cash and still mad at OPEC for stabbing him in the back in 1991) and selling it to the US consumer at full price.\n\nCriticize conservatives all you want, supply side economics is turning the US into a third world country, but try to be realistic about it!

Do we really want to bathe in the milk (or oil) of human misery?\nGod! I hope not. Let's try and keep some dignity over this entire disgusting mess.

They wouldn't care. They probably don't even realize we are taking their oil now. They just think we are evil people trying to police the world around so they blow us up and try to make it seem justified. Too bad.

gosh, you other answerers misunderstand Bush completely.  He's trying to help the USA by killing off all those mideast types and taking their oil for nothing.  He's absolutely sure he is doing God's work.  But I really don't see how MURDERing people is doing God's work, do you?

Yes it does. It also bothers me that people are killed because they have something someone else wants (oil, money, property). Alot more modern wars have been raged because of those things than because of religion....   Jim

This is what bothers me.  The whole freakin oil issue.  I think that is the worst abuse on mankind AND the earth.  Because oil is the reason for this whole damn war and also oil is the earth's life blood.  How would we like it if someone was mining blood out of us and not replacing it?  We are sucking the life blood out of this planet and every single one of us is guilty!!  The rain forests are vanishing, global warming is so damn obvious but weather it is just natures course or our doing is another question I struggle with.  Maybe a bit of both.  We are probably excellurating (sp) it!\nDon't get me started.  I just had 11 hours of sleep and I could just kick anyone's butt over this whole abusing earth issue.  I know it sounds crazy but sometimes I hope man destroys himself before he destroys the planet.  \nIs that rocket ready yet baby?  We gotta get the hell out of here.

Yet another Bb (Bush basher)\nListen this is about changing the world for the better.\n WE KNOW people like YOU don't understand it.\nIt's beyond your comprehension. It's like trying to tell a blind man what an elephant looks like.\nIf the Muslim people get a taste of democracy, You know freedom of Religion and innocent before proven guilty. All the things other people had to die for so YOU can have them.\n\nI know what you want to hear so I'll give it to you.\nYeah WE are there just for the oil.\nThere thats what you wanted right????\nHow about this one.\nMight makes right, IT'S OUR OIL. We should kill them all for that oil.

It has to be premeditated..and they must be killed in order to change something or send a message. If their death makes a difference publically it is assassination.

there are several ways to look at this.firstly the weapons of mass destruction were never found but the iraqs were living under a dictator.sometimes you have to look at the wider angle and decide the real motives behind it was it oil.i dont know but what i do know is this tinderbox is well and truly kindled and people are getting killed trying to stabalise the situation.i feel sorry for all the soldiers and innocent people caught up and being killed  in a confused and volatile country .in my opinion it is a no win situatin for both sides .

Just tell the USA that starving and homeless people have oil and then the US millitary will attack them and wipe them out, this may only work with non-caucasian starving and homeless.

I has killed thousands of Kurds with chemical weapons, this ammounts to genocide.  In interogations of the alleged assassination attempt, 50 people died, mostly children.  Under his regime, a pregnant woman was hanged.  Fingernails being pulled out and drill bits through the shins were used as forms of torture and interogation.  He would make the families of the executed pay for the bullets used to kill them.  No one should stand up for this man.  He is along the lines of Hitler.

Humans..they kill more than what they need for food..the environment is a mess and wars abound.
