cheap gas? when are people going to realize that invading Iraq was -not- going to lower gas prices....
You're right, it only makes gas more expensive. But have you ever tried to tell our people that? I geuss I didn't use the words "freedom" or "liberty" or "democracy" enough for them to listen.
Have you seen Bush's latest approval ratings? Or the polls about our feelings on the war?
Oh, I was talking about "our" represenatives listening. Frankly, they don't represent the majority of people. |

*rolls eyes*
Indeed, geeogree. And as it has been said before, there are a lot of other factors influencing the current rise of gas, someone posted a rather interesting list awhile back, note Ziff's post down below here. If someone has the time, they should check the list out (with using something like Google news search or something), but I'm certain it's probably mostly correct. I guess we can let Ziff comment for himself though.  |

Yeah I know. These weren't terrorists or insurgents the Brits were fleeing one of their own from, it was the Iraqi Police. You know, the group they helped set up? At the very least, the Brits could have tried to talk them out; they only broke them out half-a-day after they were captured, hardly enough time for negotiations of any sort and these soldiers are accused of killing Iraqi police.  |

EDIT: Ah I see now. At first, I didn't notice there was a link up there and I thought that it was just some random statement.
The war wasn't about oil. I can't stress that enough. |

If our Iraqi subjects don't do as we wish, like release one of our soldiers who was shooting at their cops, then just send 6 tanks to break down the prison walls where the soldiers are being kept and free them--and a whole bunch of other prsioners at the same time.
