When did Iraq attack the US? Were they at our shores, with WMDs and connections to terrorism? Or were they a middle Eastern country that was sitting on oil that might have ended up in China or Japan? Who attacked first, the United States or Iraq? That's what I thought.

How about we leave them alone? That's an alternative. How about we take even a fraction of what we're spending on the rebuilding and spend it on research into alternate fuels? How about we fund our countries DEFENCE, not offence?

How does one alter the course of history? Isn't that any supposed alteration the course of history? If we use up all the oil, perhaps our kids can starve and freeze to death.

Can you explain how we are serving to remedy the problem?
