Re: Why War?
McFly — (archived)

There are some assertions in the article that cry out for documentation:

...following the 1991 Gulf War, ... nocturnal images of American bulldozers burying thousands of teenage Iraqi conscripts, many of them alive and trying to surrender, were never shown.

Is there any credible evidence of this?

...America's mass theft of Iraq's resources and natural wealth...

Again, any citations to be made in support of this? The presence of American oil expertise in Iraq is not evidence of theft. The question is: where will the revenues from oil sales go? It seems to me that will determine whether the alleged theft is taking place, and it also seems to me that the money-trail in question has yet to be paved.

Please, I'm not saying the arguments made in the article are false, I'm just suggesting that they require substatiation. If anyone has already done some of that legwork, I'd appreciate the help.
