And Iraq has?  Once perhaps and got it's ass kicked 13 years ago, but 
when was it doing so recently?  Ooh I forgot the terrorists who'll use 
countries the US, UK and USSR f****d with as a based of ops (Iraq, Iran, 
Afghanistan, ...) - we messed them up in the first place, now we're 
going back to do it again, to create more widows and orphans who will 
blame us for the dead.  We are told they're using it but by governments 
with vested interests and little proof

Or accidently bringing S Korea in and making a bloody mess of two 
countries instead of one (which wouldn't look good on his nice clean 
resume).

America didn't need Oil back then, it had plenty.  Oil reserves and 
sources are drying up all over the place now and he needs to beef up 
supplies and sources now that the Arab nations are realising US and 
European dependance on it.  Also Kuwait was the victim and if the US had 
taken there oil, they'd be as bad as him so they wouldn't have done it. 
  Now they need Oil and want to make some cash so they start a war.

And of yourself.  You ignore you're countries dependance on oil and the 
fact that almost every high level official connected to the WH has an 
interest in oil (look at the people he put in place).  You blindly trust 
your government and question not their motives.  You ignore the fact 
that Iraq could bring other arab nations in to the fight and start a 
bloodbath if they're prevoked.  Remember Saddam is a nutter and if he is 
pushed he might just do something nasty to Israel and f**k the 
consequences (remember nutters' aren't rationale beings).  Especially if 
he's not gonna be around to see the aftermath (a final finger up to 
America perhaps).
