... but I think both of you and others here at DU know the truth.

But, when I look at the various statements by members of the Senate and House in the past few weeks about Bush's war on Iraq, I can't help but wonder if they are not among the likely millions of Americans who do not want to be disturbed or disrupted by Bush speaking the truth to Cindy Sheehan.

Folk who are expressing their lack of approval of Bush's performance overall, and in Iraq specifically, have not yet been told the truth as to why we are there and what it will really cost them if we were not now, and for way into the future, in full control of Iraq's oil, as well as much of the revenue being generated by exporting that oil.

What would happen if our fellow Americans were required to live in an economy that did not rely on all of the uses of that assured and relatively inexpensive Iraqi petroleum.

Furthermore, it is my concern that given the choice, many millions of Americans would shout "We Don't Care" as Bush and the neoconsters destroy all of Iran except the oil fields and pumping infrastructure.

That concern is a 'testable hypothesis' and I don't think we are going to have to wait very much longer before Bush and the neoconsters do the 'experiment' -- on Iran, that is.


Peace.
