You didn't read what I just said about Chirac and oil, did you?
As far as China is concern...Castro made the comment that the country has become more capitalistic. Hahahaha...we 'evil' Americans are capitalistis too, you know. I don't care about the Olympics that much either. We have had the honor and the pleasure of hosting them before, and I have no objection if they host.
I am not in the state of panic as you describe. The US was attack. Now, call me crazy, but I thought the natural and common sense form of action would be to retaliate against those responsible?
And no, Bush is not 'clearly and overwhelmingly' going for oil. We have had so many opportunities to go for oil and get it cheap. No one could have possibly stopped us. Instead, our government (even some democrats), has sarificed the opportunity to get cheap oil.
Dave, our military is so advance, there will be minimal civilian casualties in this war. Have you heard about the 'Human-shields' over in Iraq right now. They went to go protect hospitals and the like from 'American attack'. Guess what? They're mad now because they've been placed (gasp) at military bases. But...they thought the 'evil' Americans were going to bomb the little orphans!
