Many of us stood by while the election was stolen. Many of us stood by as George W. Bush appointed an attorney general who has gone on record saying, "It's said that we shouldn't legislate morality. Well I disagree, I think all we should legislate is morality," as reported by Charisma Magazine in 1999. We've stood by as this administration passed the Patriot Act, which has severely limited our civil liberties and allows for the deferral of due process. We'd site a source for that, but it's actually in the body of the document. Not that we should be surprised that this came from an administration headed by a man who has stated publicly in regards to a website criticizing him that "there should be limits to freedom." Many of us have stood by as Bush took the time in our nation’s history when we should have had the largest outpouring of sympathy from the international community and turned it into a source of extreme animosity.

Now even the most politically inactive of us cannot stand by as Bush's regime carries out its agenda of world conquest for oil at the cost of innocent lives and the stability of the international community.

The Bush administration has frequently proven that its interests lie in protecting the energy and oil concerns and not the interests of the American people. Remember Enron and Kenny Lay, Bush's biggest campaign contributor? And don’t forget Bush and Cheney's refusal to turn over notes from the energy policy meetings.

Speaking of energy interests, Halliburton (the company Cheney was Chief Executive Officer of until 2000, and from which he still receives $1 million a year) subsidiaries were awarded a $1 billion contract to repair the oil industry in Iraq, according to Motley Fool. These oil fields were among the first targets to be "liberated." Halliburton was also the company that rebuilt Iraq's oil industry post-Gulf War.

Can you say "conflict of interest?" (Bush probably can't, it has too many syllables.)

Now, some people say this war is about preventing terrorism. If terrorism is a by-product of anti-American feelings, how will a war that spurred the largest protests internationally in years, according to CNN.com, decrease the threat of terrorism?

It's funny how any friend of terrorism is an enemy of ours—unless they have oil! Saudi Arabia has been the principal financier of the Taliban since 1996, and has also financed Hamas. The Saudi government has also funded schools whose students are “taught that the United States is the center of infidel power in the world and is the enemy of Islam. Graduates of those schools are frequently recruits for Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda terror network as well as other extremist groups," according to a 2001 article on Cato.org.

Don't we still consider Saudi Arabia an ally?

Then again we are the second largest importer of Saudi oil says the Energy Information Administration. So I guess they can't be all that bad (at least for the oil interests).

If you really want to support our troops, then tell Mr. Bush to bring them back NOW-and if he wants his oil he can go get it himself, unless it conflicts with his National Guard duties. Bush, while serving in the National Guard to escape the draft (his daddy got him pushed past the waiting list) went AWOL for a year. There are no records of Bush participating in any National Guard activity between 1972 and 1973 while he was still enlisted, according to an article on Boston.com.

Make love, not profits for the oil industry!
