i guess the importance of oil is quite a bit more visible to me now.
Especially since Saddam had already proven he was more than willing to invade his neighbors in the first gulf war. Over territory and oil. Look at the ecological disaster he caused pulling out of Kuwait. If not for some very ingenious oil fire fighters, we would have spent years putting out those fires. I can't believe the left stuck up for this man, except for the fact that they hated Bush II worse.
