Oil and the iraq War

World War 111 will be fought over oil! That is why it is so crucial to get to energy independence in this country as soon as humanly possible, by any and all methods.

At the end of the day, the real truth is, Iraq (and the free world) are far better off without the murderous regime of Saddam Hussein. (Just ask all my Kurdish friends!) We have liberated millions of Iraquis, especially the women, and with the great success of the surge, that country, with America's help, is well on its way to becoming a functional Democratic society. We have also rebuilt, or are rebuilding, that country's infrastructure and schools, etc. far better than they were before, because of Saddam's squandering of resources for his own personal wealth.(Remember the gold fixtured bathrooms in his gargantuan palaces, etc.,etc.)?

If you do not read or listen to anything but the mainstream media here (whose mantra is "Good news is no news", concerning the war), you would never hear the real (good) news about what is happening there! Read the foreign press such as the London Times which does print the positive news!

In response to some others. There is a clear distinction between the Muslim faith and Radical Islam. My concern is that as a whole, relatively few people in the traditional Muslim faith have come forward to condemn the acts of terror and other factions that have hijacked their faith. Fear perhaps?
