   My viewpoint is that I don't care about Iraqi oil interests one way or   
   the other. The entire oil industry is to blame, not just one faction or   
   another. They all try to make us believe in "peak oil" and near future   
   shortages in order to inflate the price, when in fact the Sun will   
   probably burn out before we run out of oil.   
      
   But, what will burning all this oil do to our environment in the   
   meantime? That is more of a concern to me. And I'm not speaking about   
   global warming, but the poisoning of our atmosphere with carcinogens and   
   other detrimental chemicals, that everyone seems to conveniently   
   overlook, in favor of more contentious issues. Anything to promote   
   conflict, I guess.
