Think about this, Exxon Mobil, the company responsible for the Exxon Valdez oil spill, made a record $42 BILLION (with a "B") dollars in profit in 2004, up from $32 BILLION the year before. I believe that in 2005 they made $61 BILLION.
You know what they made in 2002, before we invaded Iraq?
$18 BILLION.
They DOUBLED their profits in the year we invaded Iraq.
And you wonder why Gas is $2.50 a gallon?
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams, speech at the Pennsylvania State House, August 1, 1776
