You know, I'm not especially pacifist, and I believe in using force when our interests are threatened, but this one is absurd. America is only being threatened by terrorists because of our support of Israel, not because "they hate our freedoms" or any of that BS. And there was no threat to the country's interests, only to the interests of big oil companies - Bush's friends, family, and supporters. (And Condoleeza Rice is on the board of directors for Chevron or something.) All those soldiers who signed up to protect the country are getting killed for no better reason than oil. It makes me nauseous to think about it. Not to even mention the Iraqi people getting killed for the same reason.
