Linda/not about oil

Indeed, it isn't about oil. If it were, the USA would've followed France's lead and made up with Sadam Insane's Iraq ASAP--or it would even have acquiesced in Iraq's seizure of Kuwait in 1991 (after all, a slightly enlarged Iraq wouldn't have been able to drink its oil).

The more I think about it, the more pessimistic I am about the possibility of a peaceful Islam.
