It doesnt matter what reasons the US administration claims it went to war for... they are just after the oil. Freeing the iraqui people... weapons of mass destruction.... pigs fly....

Hmm, if one of the biggest oil fields is right across the border from Kuwait, and the US troops are attacking from that country... why would they *not* secure that oil field? After all, not securing it would mean the Iraqis could set it ablaze (fucking up visibility, the region's environment, and the future source of Iraqi income), or attack the US from the rear...
As for the museums: how would you have reacted if the US had stopped the looting by shooting dozens of those thieves, as was probably required? Is protecting cultural heritage more important than protecting human lives?
