Saying that this war was about "stealing oil" is just the extreme left version of the right's "WMD experience". Try not to be so simple, Simon.

Clearly the war in Iraq was mostly about getting a foot hold in the middle east. Freedom to run operations at will. It's about empire building, and the whole nine yards. Do you think an explosion at the Pentagon was necessary to lead up that war? The fact is that MOST people are stupid. Especially when you get them together in large groups. Americans, Canadians, Russians, Germans, etc etc. It's easy for the powerful to lead the masses, because the masses are stupid.

Your missile theory is simly that, a theory. No credible evidence backs it up. While experts continue to tell us that yes a plane would cause that sort of damage, etc etc, Internet retards here and there tell us differently. It should be a no brainer as to who's word to believe if like most of us you don't have a degree in advanced physics or aero dynamics.
