Our nation is at war, but really it isn’t something that burdens my soul with fear or frustration or whatever emotions that might be associated with war. But here I am typing away on my windows machine about a war being fought for oil. Gaining more access to oil is a legitimate reason to send a nation to war. Any nation with an extravagant amount of wealth has access to a lot of oil. It is reasonable to say that the US government just wants to secure their access to the third largest oil reserve in the world. Thus the war in Iraq should be a huge concern for all Americans, but it doesn’t seem like many Americans even care. Anyway since it is Memorial Day I would like to thank all the men and women who help preserve this nation’s wealth.
