Funny, I think I did say that. The whole thing does not add up!
It's not about the oil or the people (Iraq). It's about imbalance but, more important, some kind of dynamic has been changed or disruption. I think the US caused this change, perhaps unwittingly, and feel obligated to try and fix it. War is the only thing some people know...force and violence is what they know.
I still think the whole think is about "Sustainable Enterprise and Empowerment" for Sadaam, for the US, for everyone except everyday people. The whole thing went awry years ago and we all suffer because of it.
