>>You do think oil has a lot to do with this war, right? Do you also believe that religious prejudices may play a role - as some satyrical publications (
www.whitehouse.org) seem to imply?

>Yes, I'm sure in my feelings that oil has a LOT to do with this war.
>I don't know about religious prejudice. What I do feel is that the religious right, a strong voice in the current U.S. administrations, DOES have some religious 'objectives' and that this war suits them so people (religious leaders) who should normally oppose war are not only silent but in fact pleased with events as they are unfolding.
Ah, I see. The
www.whitehouse.org site also implies a strong religious "commitment" (is that the correct word?) on the part of the Bush administration - but I didn't follow the relevant news closely enough to know what the real facts are.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
