I disagree that this war is about oil. It may be that we want to be able to have access to this oil, but this is not nearly the main reason. I agree that "liberating" the Iraqi people is MOSTLY bullshit (makes for good reason though). A main part of this war is as stated, and that is to rid us of the threat of SADDAM HUSSEIN and his abilities to use weapons of mass destruction, which is becoming more and more evident with the findings of late.
This man has killed tens of thousands of his own people, he tortures and is a brutal tyrant. It is not safe for anyone in this world to allow a leader like this to exist, and to exist in a region as unstable as the middle east. It is a danger that must be removed.
Nobody wants war. War is EVIL, but sometimes, and in this case, is necessary. People are going to be mad, and upset, and there is going to be alot of tension in the world until this is over.
If we (the U.S. and U.K.) demonstrate that we had the best interest of Iraq and the arab world in mind then I think a different light may be shed on US and a better opinion of "us" will come about.
If not, what did we lose? The arab world already hates us. If we rid ourselves and everyone else of an evil, dangerous dictator, create a democratic society in the middle east, and increase our "access" to a large supply of oil, AND they still hate us, I think we did okay.
