War for Oil - Good Column!
Good column, Mr. Curran. I was against our invasion of Iraq (in letters to our two esteemed senators), but I've never doubted that our need for oil was the driving reason behind the invasion. I just think there were (and are) better ways of ensuring an adequate oil supply.
But I have no doubt that if Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela all stopped selling oil to us, that we would declare that we have a right to some of that oil and would mount as robust an attack to achieve our objective as we could (which right now wouldn't be very robust). And Americans would demand it!
About Primary voices The Boston Globe asked Democrats, Republicans and independents in
three communities to blog for us as they decide who will get their
vote in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary. The
Democrats are from Henniker, the Republicans from Kingston and the independents are from Nashua.
