All great points.
My opinion of the war in Iraq and Aphganistan is that their purpose was to consolidate oil. I think that's why prices are going up instead of down like most people thought. So, I guess the wars are a huge sucess in the eyes of anyone who benefits from this.
This is also why there isn't a push towards alternative fuel sources like that article mentions. They are seen as a huge threat to the oil industries. I think that's why they are pushing for satelite tracking devices in every car that track you by the mile rather than by how much gas you consume.
What's even more sad is that neither party will stand up to these neo-cons. They rarely call them out on major issues like these, and keep voting for more patriot act type legislation that does nothing to prevent terrorism. Kerry could of easily won the election if he would of called Bush out on all his connections to big oil, carlyle group etc.(all of which are documented and undeniable) I think this shows how both sides are controlled by corporations and only "pretend" to oppose the other side. In the end their voting records are nearly identicle (pro war, pro big business, pro patriot act type bills).
