In summary, Zero is tired of people who argue why Iraq was invaded and why France didn't want us to invade. He also argues that all of the countries wanted oil from Iraq.

I would like to clear one single most important (and OBVIOUS) issue that almost everyone here has a problem with.

I'm really tired of arguments why was Iraq invaded and why France didn't want US to invade iraq and why russia even more didn't want it. And why would they do it if saddam wouldn't trade with them and all of the combinations you can come up.

For da MONEY! ALL of the countries want OIL from iraq. ALLLLLLLLLLLLL (screaming into your ear)! REMEMBAH!

Ok, WHY (doh...)? Because we live in a CAPITALISTIC WORLD. Yeah, the word tells you all, if it doesn't, read again and again.
Claiming the opposite is the same as if I was sitting in a swimming pool, saying that I'M NOT WET, while only my hair is still dry!

Are you even aware of OUR SYSTEM? Does any of you know it's DYNAMICS? what keeps it UP AND RUNNING? How DOES IT WORK?

And how the hell are you able to find 101 dotted reasons, but the one with no dots "ELUDES" you?

Do you even know where you live and who makes your "originale American Nike" shoez?

I'm not saying that i know a better alternative or that communism is the anwser.

Just pleaseplaseplease stop acting so remarkably blindly stupid as if you got high on pot and then banged your head into wall for a few minutes dammit!

Good. Now i feel better and zero can close yet another thread, so I don't get targeted by smelly old originale nike socks from the goody goody western christian world, whose morality and acts are not at all based on gathering of wealth, but on the teachings of our lord jesus, his impotent father god, and their imaginary friend!

You should try posting something besides drunken-sounding rants.

I agree with Zero. But his word goes farther than mine here, so maybe I shouldn't waste my time.

maybe I should.

But you should definitely try to obtain some sense of humor (i admit, that varies) and learn how to read between lines.. it does no difference anyway since you miss the entire point anyway...

perhaps i should nail a neon sign somewhere instead of a text post.

Sorry, random capitalization of words, repeated l's, and massive amounts of punctuation at the end of fragmented sentences don't compel me to read the lines themselves, much less between them.

Don't really know why you should wish to impose yourself upon everyone else so harshly, perhaps you should simply follow your own advice about a 'sense of humor'...read what you wrote, yea, so? that is an incomplete viewpoint in respect of the Big(ger) Picture of Just how "Everything" works...not all so cut and dry, not all controlled by 'one' person, or Nation, not everything is done for money, as having an oil supply, helps to keep people 'warm and dry', (Food gets delivered...by truck...there too?) too, especailly in a place like Canada, you know Winter...
