I always love to hear the reasons why the US is getting into this war from those who are against it. The sheer amount of ignorance shown is hilarious.

1) War for Oil - Only 20% of US oil comes from the Middle East and none of that comes from Iraq. Compared to the rest of the world, US oil is dirt cheap. So I guess by your theory Canada and France would be at the forefront of this war... oh wait, they;re against it. There goes that theory.

2) American Imperialism - The US has occupied 2 Nations after successful modern wars. Germany and Japan. We rebuilt them to the point that they were stronger than they ever were and then left. Oh boy, we Americans sure do love to conquer and oppress people. So there goes that theory too.

Anyone have anything else?
