Subject: RE: BS: Bush, Iraq, and War: PART EIGHT
No one, but no one, has convinced me that our national interests are threatened by Saddam's regime. Opening up our ever-deminishing Federal lands for oil exploration and climbing into bed with oil producers and processors (Enron, Haliburton, etc.) have only produced less Federal lands and more criminal indictments (Arthur Andersen, Enron, and Halibrton (yet to come)). If that wasn't enough, we now want to go to war to ensure a steady supply of oil.

Don't get me wrong, if I truly felt that we were under imminent attack or truly threatened by his sale of "weapons of mass destruction" to terrorists, I'd be the first to enlist...of course, I did that in the late 60's - too old now, I guess.

We need a return to the Age of Reason.........let's put our government to work on what matters most, e.g., human suffering, the environment, and education. More money to the National Park System, less money for Defense...........sorry, I got sidetracked.
