This is a very intersting statement: All those who say that the fight is
for oil are leftist.
I am amazed by your logic!

You dont really want a comment on that, do you ?

Well, now they are liberals! How things change!
And I guess the conservatives are the smart ones that try to convince the
world that war is over human rights.
(You want some references here about how much human rights are respected in
some "ideal" republics that the conservatives highly support?)

So, what the war is about?
To free Kuwait? An what about the other little countries that are under
occupation? (like Cyprus and some teritories occupied by Israel)
You know, also for these cases there are UN resolutions. (but, curisously
enough, no oil! is this what makes the difference?)

Give us a break, will you?
