Solving the problems of the worlds is exhausting , isn't it? It is stimulating banter, and we do get to know one another better through it. And I, for one, DO respect everyone here's opinion. They're all valid and that's what makes this so frustrating.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

specialist- exxon mobil's profits were a result of record oil prices. Prices went up due to global conflits. Any time there is a war, prices go up. Of course supply and demand are players as well, but the iraq conflict played a huge roll in elevated prices.

Iraq's link to al queda is hardly a link at all. Take a look at how many of the hijackers came from saudi arabia.. why didnt we invade them and take over thier country?? Explain to me how Iraq aided the 9-11 hijackers please.

Here is a link if you read the information, you will see that even the Clinton administration was saying there was a link between the 2

Read and judge for yourself...

Now if you can show me some evidence that Exxon is currently profiting directly from oil coming out of Iraq, then I will believe it.

The Weekly Standard isn't exactly the most objective source you could have quoted!

This argument is pretty simple, show me a US Government report done after the Administrations snow job that indicates there's a link.

You won't find any. The tens of millions of US taxpayer dollars spent researching the isse have come up with NOTHING.
