Hi,
i don't think we would even be entertaining the idea of war in Iraq if the number one export was say oranges.
That notion has been destroyed so many times, it's past the glue stage.
I realize that Afghanistan was a considerably smaller effort. But the principle applies. If you still believe in the "blood for oil" argument, then I think your understanding of the issues is too shallow to make your opinions interesting or valid.
