Blood for oil

It’s such a pity that journalism, which claims such high motives, has so many practitioners who thrive on sensation, and have an innate inability to acknowledge complexity. Thus Drudge is headlining today in red: "Shock: Greenspan Claims Iraq War Really Was For Oil." What nonsense. Of course it was for oil. And for our national security, and to spread Democracy in a part of the world whose despots are helping breed the terrorism which led to 9/11, and yet exports the one commodity, oil, needed by every economy. Without which, at present, every one of them–including ours–would collapse and billions of people would suffer. How can we not fight for oil?
