You can believe what you like - take the pessimist view and believe everything is motived by bad.
Sure, there is plenty of things that go afoul in other countries around the world - but we can't fix 'em all - and some of them present more of a direct threat (real or perceived) to us and our allies. Sometimes it's just bad to draw attention to yourself at the wrong time - that's what Afghanistan & Iraq did. Was it for financial purposes? Not as far as I can tell - we're certainly no better off financially for doing it & "stealing their oil" as much of the world accused us of for a time, certainly didn't help us when oil was $150/barrel. Shouldn't we have been swimming in the stuff & laughing at as the rest of the world bought oil at a 400% premium or more? Surely you can't be serious about this being simply an economic issue. Again, much like the economy this subject of the middle east is so complex and has so many intricacies, it would be very difficult to discuss it with any resemblance of intelligence without first hand involvement for many years. It's awfully easy to spout ancillary accusations from afar, especially if they're being fed to you as propaganda. -- 86atc250r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 86atc250r's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54678 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
