What really scares me about USUK aggression

[Arrian]

I'd guess about 16. The righteous rage he works himself into screams teenager.

I'd discuss this with you, PC, but I can tell from past posts and this thread again that you have no real interest in discussing what I have to say. Like I said, you're obviously in this for a big pile-on-the-US-fest, and I very much doubt you're willing to even consider the things I would say. So, in short, **** it.

His profile says he's 29 though his debate style is not very well developed.

I can vouch for the authenticity of his age.

infatuated with myself?

you think oil-power is pure-power? really? interesting. especially when it's not. oil is a resource used to influence, but it is not pure power. oil is critical for many things, but pure power lies with a coupling of financial and military might, neither of which is entirely dependent on petroleum--nor are they dependent on merely arabian oil.

Is there anyone in the Bush cabinet who hasn't worked in the Oil industry?

The US military could not function without petroleum

The key difference is that Bush actually is a witch.

(nor could any modern military)

Azazel: I think deep down they know that, but, they so hate Bush and company that they will ignore the facts. I find it sad. It was sad when the right went on a witch hunt for Clinton and now it's sad when the left mindlessly does the same to Bush.

So your argument is that people have been stealing/murdering for thousands of years - therefore it's pointless to say that stealing/murdering is wrong?

It shouldn't be anything to do with Left or Right. If governments do stuff wrong everyone should get at them, no matter what party you were forced to vote for because it's policies were the least repellent.

What we really need to test this is a set of very large scales and a duck.

i realize that. but we're not depended on arabian oil.

going to iraq over oil is an amazingly shallow reductionist view of the entire sordid affair.

[chequita guevara]

If you can corner the market on oil, you can control those who need it. If the US has its hand on it's competitor's oil spigit, that gives it power over it's rival's economies.

If oil equals pure power then why are nearly all of the major oil producing countries so powerless? :hmm:

No we're not, but like Che said, some of our 'enemies' certainly are.

I didn't say that Azazel did.
