Neither does your belief make it right. I'm more than happy to hear
well thought out reasons supporting it, though - although perhaps the
off-topic list would be a better place.

This I know, and I also know that Canada is the largest exporter of oil

I guess I worded that last bit of my original post wrong. I'm not
trying to accuse the US gov't of only going in after oil, but anyone who
tries to tell me that further securing petroleum reserves in the persian
gulf wasn't VERY high on the to-do list is inhaling a bit too much super
unleaded.
Anyway, I'm finished with this topic, as I'm not going to convince
anyone that hasn't been under a rock for a few years, and you're not
going to convince me.
