Grant—-Rich people? Well, part of the comment was more general— rich (and therefore powerful) people have been taking advantage of poor people forever, and keeping the general populace in fear makes it easier for rich people to exploit it.

More specifically, I was referring to the fact that countries usually don’t attack other countries purely for moral or political reasons. There are always economic factors involoved, and to put it bluntly, Bush seems to want to cash in on this war on terror in more ways than one. I just cannot bring myself to ignore the OIL.
