the only oil card you can pull is that we do not want Iran to control the major % of production.

Israels dominance? of what?

claiming that the U.S. doesn't care about the deaths of civilians is the argument of a fool.

and yes the U.S. does call the shots. nothing and i mean nothing gets done in the world without the U.S.'s consent. why do you think there has been no cease fire? because we aren't done using the Israeli's to smash Hezbollah. bush is tired of taking all the responsibility for the deaths of Arabs in the region. he thinks by letting Israel front some of the responsibility that the real reason we are there will fall by the wayside, thus strengthening our populations resolve and the Arab balls to realize that these fanatical regimes are still in the stone age.

until the Arab community understand that this kind of path will not be tolerated by the world community, there will be no compensation, no Nada. but in fact will lengthen their world of persecution and their separation from the world.

when the shit hits the fan, no matter of what people think of the U.S. who do they call?

these countries have never lived in a "free" country and do not know what it's all about. they think everyone does whatever the hell they want, when in fact the U.S. has some of the strictest laws in the world.
