B. i didn't bother reading all the stuff you wrote.

A. The sig is kinda wide...I hate having to scroll over to read a post just because of somone's wide (and somewhat worthless) sig.

B. That's the most incredibly ignorant thing I've heard in a while. If you want to have a good debate and make points you at least have to read the stuff. You might not agree with it, but you make an ass out of yourself by not even bothering. To a certain extent you've validated some of what he's said.

V8killimports...you're right...South America does supply us with mucho oil. Just remember that the largest oil producing country (Venezuala) is currently in gridlock. Plus the fact that they produce MORE oil doesn't cancel out the fact that Iraq has many billions of dollars in oil for the taking. Just because someone else has more doesn't mean we won't balk at taking what we can get. Besides...who would back us if we invaded a small South American country. At least with Iraq we know we'll have some help. It's all about percieved impropriety. We can make excuses invading Iraq...not with South America. As for so and so being found at Udays ranch or whatever...that's odd...we didn't seem to blink for the last umpteen years that he's been raping and murdering women for no good reason. But when we get a good story that makes for good headlines it's big news. Just totally forget everyone else. Bottom line is that she's an IRAQI girl...not a U.S. citizen. That doesn't mean her life is less important...it means it's none of our business. it's up to each individual country to govern themselves. If the people are unhappy enough, no army can stop them from making change (I turn your attention to the american revolution). If they want to lie back and get done dry without a fight, that;s their problem, not ours.
