Thread Name: BS: Oil wars
Subject: RE: BS: Oil wars
teribus - Since you don't think the invasion of Iraq is about oil and you deny that the U.S. and Britain are threatening Iran, what do you think will be a sign of success in Iraq? Why do you think we are constantly meddling in the affairs of other nations to the tune of billions of dollars?

It may not always be about oil but it is about the control of energy and natural resources.

Why do you think its your God given right to spread democracy by the sword? Seems to me that you think its O.K. to shove freedom down the throat of others. If freedom means giving Iraqis the freedom to self-destruct through civil war, you have certainly given them that. Good on you, boy. Thats the colonial spirit! Force your values and your customs on others in the belief that you are superior. Thats very old school, teribus. Its time to re-think and shed your ethno-centrism.
