T-S,

Yes, It is one of the more entertaining features of this conflict that it is acceptable to suggest that the coalition forces are engaged in "theft". Hypocritical, but entertaining.

Is it is true that "it is all about oil"?

France, Germany, and Russia, with which Iraq has, respectively, contracts (pending due to the UN embargo) for oil development, suppliers of contraband (two German nationals were convicted, in Germany, of selling proscribed military material), and $8 billion in outstanding debt, are obviously influenced by their economic involvement to avoid war.

Interesting how these nations are willing to endanger the lives of civilians who live around and in Iraq, and at the same time claim the moral high ground.
