I'm interested in how many lives the average American thinks Iraq's oil reserves are worth. Is there a set amount of barrels per American life? How many of your relatives are you willing to part with in order to fuel your over-consumption of plastics and fuel for the rest of your lifetime?

This is a very ignorant post. Do you really think our government is so evil that it would wage this war just because of some oil?
Remember Rich, the liberals are just as bad as the conservatives.
There is so much more involved in this war then just oil.
Go back to late 1996 in this timeline:

Then think about all the innocent iraqis & middle eastern people that have died at our military's hands. Sure, it might have been for a good cause at the time, but they don't give a fuck, especially now! They've got their jihad on our asses and we're in a really bad spot right now in Iraq, with tons of factors and variables. Sure oil is one of them, but it's not the defining factor.
The saddest factor in this war to me is the soldiers, most who are poor and uneducated. Many have and will die because of all this, but it's not like we can turn back time. We have to deal with all this somehow.
