sorry about that.

To get back to the thread, I don't think the US has any more right to attack another nation to preserve its standard of living than I have to attack my next-door neighbor to preserve mine.

He makes more money than I do, and I've had heavier than usual expenses this year, but still I somehow feel I should restrain myself.

But during the first Bush-Iraq war I was talking to a man who thought the war was about oil, and that was fine with him. He figured those people against the war would sing a different tune when we ran low on petroleum.

He was a PhD, on the WSU faculty, and he had a son in action in Iraq. An educated & somewhat respected man, and apparently totally selfish.

Anybody remember "War is good business; invest your son?"
