Sure it's about oil. All wars are about trade (politicians make you want to believe it's about freedom (or God) because that's how they get you to sacrifice your life).

However, the French stood up this time, unlike with Iraq when we really had no real support from anyone. (i still believe Iraq was little G's payback for his father getting snookerd by Saddam over the no-fly zone issue)

My point was that we are able to wage war because the likely hood of loss of U.S. life is low (compare our death rate with civilian Iraqis, let alone the Taliban).

If you said "parents, you either commute to work or your kid will be sent to war to die", I bet you would see all those bikes in those million dollar bike lanes.
