>Come on Daniel, you know that's not true. Oil is the reason for being there. Not to steal oil perhaps but certainly to try and ensure stability in the region so that the oil can keep flowing. Let's not try to shroud these events in terms of a humanitarian effort to enlighten the people of the world. This is a war motivated by economics.
