Quote by: Rainbow The oil is the main source for the energy and high-tech states need that (damn) oil more than ever. There is no any other technological solution as a substitute or a replacement to that, as of today. More over, next decades would bring not much (if anything) as a breakthrough developement in that field. |
And just look how well our war in Iraq is solving that little problem. To say nothing of the fact that Bush & Co. has stated repeatedly that this is not about blood for oil. So what you're saying, Rainbow, is not only did Bush lie when he said this war wasn't about oil, but that, with gasoline now at $3/gal., his specific policy to ensure the stability of mideast oil has been a failure. To say nothing of Iran and North Korea now becoming more combative, not more compliant, now that we're buried neck deep in Iraq.

Quote by: Rainbow Off Topic *Ding*
What is that *Ding* (as you post) ? A sort of cartoon or comics books onomastics ? |
Yeah, sorta like the end of the round, end of the game. And I misprinted... I meant Clinton did
NOT bury our military in a hopeless quagmire, thus making him better than Bush.
But the "whole idea" of my arguement was not about Clinton vs. Bush. I simply pointed out that you were the one trying to excuse Bush by saying, Oh yeah, will Bill Clinton did such and such... ignoring both the things Clinton did do and the impeccible vision of post-9/11 hindsight. My other two points were to your stated Bush goals, not any comparison to Clinton... those goals being to
"change Arabic states' political surface" and to
"re-shape Arabic states' political arena, in order to have uninterrupted oil supplies.", neither of which Bush's War seems to be achieving much success at. Quite the opposite.
And finally, as to energy, yes, we need energy. We do not, however, have the right to just march into a country and take it simply because the current owner is sticking his tongue out at us. We're going to have to find another solution to our energy woes, and Bush's lame ass lobbyists wet-dream of an Energy Bill was not it.
