Wait, we are there for humanitarian reasons. Yeah, that's it. I forgot.....We have improved the lives of the people there. We have removed a corrupt government and replaced it with honesty and humanitarianism. Right???
Take a look at this thread to see a perspective of the Iraq War that you don't hear about from the mainstream media: The Unpatriotic Invasion Of Iraq.

I agree with kro here, we didn't exactly invade their country and turn it into the Enchanted Forest of Happiness, things still suck pretty bad over there. We've helped in some areas, but we've also done lots of damage in others, and I can't see how the ends justify the means in this situation.

We should have never gone in to begin with, but I think oil had something to do with it. Or maybe we invaded to expand our military presence around the globe. Or who knows, maybe this whole thing was orchestrated by whoever is running the show using Bush as their pawn, and they wanted to get us into wars in order to screw us economically.

But was oil the only reason that we went in there? No way.

Our gas prices is $4 a gallon. It's pretty damn expensive. If we had taken the oil, i would pay about $2 a gallon. So it's obvious we never took Iraq's oil.
