Jeff LichtmanI've never voted republican in any election, ever, in my life. But to suggest that we invaded Iraq solely for oil is really very Jimmy Carterish. I put nothing past this administration. But I also believe that a very large part of the reason Iraq was invaded was because Saddam was playing cat and mouse with the UN weapons inspectors, refused to cooperate, had fomented terrorism in the middle east, and had previously used chemical weapons against his own people. Indeed, Saddam had killed more arabs than Israel had in all of its wars with the arabs combined. Hatred for Bush should not obscure the facts of what occurred prior to and after 9/11.
