Our country is full of coruption, and nobody especially Bush cares about us.
Do you really expect him to?
I am a Soldier and I fight in Iraq. I will tell you why. It's not for money, oil, to kill people; whatever. It's to keep Mohammed Jihad from deciding that my home country is weak, and to start playing their Shia'a versus Sunni games here;
THAT is why I put my uniform on every damn day and THAT is why I am proud to support my president. Because he stood up, and said enough of this Saddam Hussein balogne. That man needed to go. He was a scab on a whore's butt on the world to be sure. I was in Saudi. I saw the things he did. Mustard gassing an entire village just because "Iranian militants MIGHT HAVE BEEN present" and leaving hundreds dead and birth defects further to come (civilians, btw) certainly, to me, is a declaration of open war for anyone. We're at a very, very precarious stage in the world right now. I am not a political science major nor do I have a 1520 SAT score.
There is a world power play going on right now, like it or not. Everyone is vying for position number one. And if we don't step up to the plate and demonstrate that we're going to kick some ass and
not back down from terrorist threats, someone will decide to use some 747 Boeing jets as projectiles. Oil experts in Europe cite unrest in Iraq and impending nuclear crisis in Iran for the prices. Probably is pretty true. I know we all love a scapegoat as human beings and our president is always a good one because he talks funny, but puh-lease, put the blame squarely where it belongs - The world as a whole. It's not ONE nation's fault.
I am done, think I've said too much as it is.
On a lighter note, I do think it's funny how we say we're alright with dropping $3.00/gal on gasoline but not $4.00, but a year and a half ago we were saying, "I don't mind spending $2.50 on gasoline as long as it doesn't break $3.00." At least I was.
Sure, people are getting rich. Such is capitalism, such is life. If you want to get rich too, go ahead. Usually the people complaining about oil tycoons are people who will never have an opportunity to have that kind of money, and simply stated, are jealous.
You just don't know when to quit. I stand by my previous statement. You will be the ultimate demise of this great (once greater) nation.
