ah, it must ALL be because i "seem to be another one of those individuals who blames all problems on oil".
i'd be mad if i wasn't filled with so much pity for you, it's quite sad. faced with the internal conflict and the subconcious knowledge, forced to insult others on internet message boards to vent a little frustration. sad sad sad.
oh, and you can post your reply in some other thread. <thread link>
of course believing whether the troops have a right to be there is relevant, i mean how can it not be?

There is no point trying to get into an anti-US debate with me because i stand with you on that one. With reguards to the support of Al Quada, the Taliban and the US Administrations support for the Saddam regieme. I consider all of these as proxy wars, in relation to the US opposition of the Soviet Union at the time as well as the opposition to Iran. More so of a strategy to get someone else to fight your war for you. The Taliban has never been an ally to the United States, it was simply used to combat soviet infleunce so the United States did not have to. The fact of the matter is, these countries, factions and groups looked like viable options at the time for whatever reasons, but to sit here and insinuate there is still some sort of conspiracy is just ridiculous. Allys can be allys one minute and emenys the next.
Nevertheless, anyone who thinks our soldiers aren't there to bring freedom to the Afghans, stabalize that country to prevent it from going into turmoil and preventing the ability for Al Quada to operate freely in that country, to plan future attacks on global targets - Canada included - is just brainwashed.
As for personal insults, where? I simply fired what you said to me, right back at you. What goes around comes around.
