i think that saying the war is about muslims is like saying the
war is about oil...
duh... of course its about oil and of course its about muslims...
but to what extent and what aspect of it. things are not alway
straightforward.
its about oil because iraq does happen to have tons of it. of
course it factors in. u don't want that madman setting fires to his
oil wells or anything like that!
and iraq will need the oil revenue to rebuild itself after the
remove that scum who's been siphoning off oil revenues for decades
to build palaces and WMDs.
if the war settlement stabilises oil prices as well, so be it. u
can't fight a war to remove a maniac dictator of an oil rich
country and expect the war to not have an effect
on oil prices.
as for Muslims, one cannot ignore the fact that there are Muslims
and then, there are Muslims... they're not all the
same...
sunni, shi'te, the harsh taliban kind, the relaxed southeast asian
kind, the adapted western kind... the war is not against ALL of
them...
its certainly about some
of them... don't pretend its not. but if m'sia is a "moderate"
muslim country, then why is PM mat making so much noise? its
obviously not against him and he has nothing to fear if his
conscience is clear... if he has a conscience at all that
is...
