		<description>Dear Jantar,

At least someone do believe that oil did motivate a war in Vietnam (at least some part of it):
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Did_we_go_to_war_in_Vietnam_over_oil

Or maybe you could read this:

In Vietnam the official claim was a war against communism. Now you are fighting officially against terrorism. What a joke. What's next - war on human rights - ironically that fight might finally happen on your own ground?</description>

		<description>Dear bungle,
I've seen this exact response, as far as I can remember word for word, to another column I wrote. Then, as now, it had scarcely anything to do with the matters discussed. That's alright, of course - as long as people are not obscenely rude or impolite to others here I will let them. Still, it's not very respectful to just send in form comments whenever you are, bull-like drawn to some real or imagined red flag.

For now, and for the last time (all other form responses I will ignore from now on) I don't think oil is the whole of it, though I'm sure it does play a part in the Iraq war. When the US talks about its strategic interests in this area, of course it doeesn't really talk about any direct military threat to the US but about oil. That's not a big secret: nobody is trying to hide it, in truth.

It's very funny that you do mention Vietnam though: such an oil-rich country yes?

No?

Oops...

So maybe not all foreign Us policies are driven by that,
J.</description>

		<description>Dear Uleh, 
I know the pictures are not. You really would have prefered up close and personal shots of some poor women who'd been battered and then stabbed to death?

Who's the douche here?

And that's the whole of the argument? Because the picture of one dead woman doesn't belong to another woman, the whole overall picture is okay?

That's not just being a carrrion coveting douche, that's also a pathetic limb dick response,.

But thanks for commenting, of course,
J.</description>

		<description>USA's only reason to be in Iraqi is O-I-L. The only way to USA to remain in Iraqi is by maintaining the war. Yes, you read right. Maintaining the war is important thing in USA's perspective. Remember that Saddam was selling oil in euros (and not only in dollars). After USA invade Iraqi it has not been possible to buy oil from Iraqi in euros anymore. Are you sure that the article you are quoting is real or is it just a propaganda - how do you prove it? Yes, Iraqi is a bad country and it needs some punishment until it learns to behave, and we Americans and British are there to punish them. Remember that USA was in Vietnam too. And what you did there? Maintained a war until your people finally figured out that it was just a lie.</description>
