Going to war to protect the petro-dollar, or secure oil supplies, that I can understand. Resources like those are the reason for prolly 90% of wars.
...at least some people are looking past the government propaganda this time.

Three months of inspections when you can't go freely to check places you want.
..When whenever you go to a new place, TV cameras welcome the inspectors meaning they knew where they were heading.
..When whenever they find something like too powerful rocket engines or high quantities of "ingredients" for chimical weapons they can the excuse of "We told you about that, didn't we? anyway its for baby food".
..When 200 inspectors in an hostile groud have to inspect a country the size of california.
..When they DID find alot of things they shouldn't find.
..When its NOT THEIR JOB to find stuff in the first place, if you bother to check the facts. They are only there to help record and inspect the disarming process.
..When people there are affraid to even talk to inspectors for fears of getting their entire family executed.
..When we don't need inspections to know he already had these weapons and intelligence finding show he has been ordering parts, components and materials to produce such weapons.
..When even if they don't find anything in 3 weeks or months or years, we know he already used such weapons in the past and he (like any dictator) didn't become more liberal (or less ruthless) with times.
..When defectors from his army and leadership tell the true story.
How about that?
Also, saying this war is only about oil is "not seeing far beyond the cloud of propaganda" just as well. It seems you don't realize there might be other motives such as fear for security.
Just think about that.. you are able to say these unfound things ONLY because of the same people that you are chastising now and the same people putting their lives at stake once again to keep you happy and safe behind the computer.
There are alot of countries supporting this war that has NOTHING to do with the Iraqi oil. And as I said once before, oil (as an economic tool) is also a weapon. Not that I think this was has much to do with that, but you are entitled to an opinion of your own, no matter how irellevant it is (or I think it is).
I dont know how you got to the coclusion that 90% of wars are about "resources like that" but whatever. As long as you think it "sounds right"..
