Nothin' like a good debate to warm the blood. Of course it's ridiculous to suggest that the Iraq war is all about Oil, just as it's ridiculous to suggest that it's about fighting terrorism. Only Cheney knows the full story. What really irks me is the complaint about gas costing three bucks a gallon - it's currently about four times that in the UK, mainly due to the huge government tax rake-off (I know our gallons are bigger than yours, but not THAT much bigger!). The point about freedom was well made, though - we're much less free to buy guns and hardcore in Britain than you chaps.
Back on topic... Mars 24 Clock rocks! When it's running I'm reminded that I'm a citizen of the Universe, as well as a citizen of my house.
