the only justification that makes sense?
I've gotten quite weary of all the Iraq-related political commentary. The non-specific liberal "LIES!" fingerpointing, and the sad, sad, set of conservative political justifications. No one has said anything about the justifications for war that makes any goddamn sense to me in a long time. I love the studied outrage of Get Your War On, but it really just pokes fun at what's being said publicly and rarely speculates about what's actually going on.
So I was pretty intrugued by this Harper's Article, Blood For Oil: The Only Justification That Makes Sense?
This has come up in conversation with Bill and Joe a lot, who, through their administration friendly views find Oil as a potential justification for the war to be absurd.
I don't know if this article really makes a good case that it was all about oil, but it does bring up in me the not-completely-angry-but-just-entirely-curious question. Really guys...why?
Well Bill? Care to write a post on this article?
