Look: mostly our experience with drug deals gone bad is from TV and movies, but it absolutely happens in real life too. When someone is addicted to something, or has something huge to gain from obtaining something, the fact that human lives stand between them and possessing that thing has very little meaning.
America is addicted to oil. It's our crack. It's our black rock heroin. And big oil companies, in cahoots with the Executive and to some degree Legislative branches of our government, are our pushers. And yes, whatever human life stands between us and an ever expanding access to our drug of choice is very, very expendable.
The Iraq War is a drug deal gone bad.
