"Bush caused a panic on Wall Street and the price per brl of crude rose dramatically.Speculators assessed the political situation as one that would cut into the supply of crude world wide. The speculators were correct."

The price of oil is global. We, in the US, buy oil in the open market and pay the global price. You keep claiming over and over that Bush did something or other, never spelled out, never mind, that jacked the price of oil up for JUST the US. But you offer no specifics or proof. Just wild claims.

"Leading political scientists, foreign affairs, and anti-terrorism experts site this is a leading reason for instability and terrorist events around the world."

Can you name ONE credible source for such a claim? Doubt that you can. THE leading source for terrorist events around the world is Muslim fanaticism and a desire to destroy Western Civilization while enjoying the fruits of Western Civilization like cellphones, TV, air travel, freedom of movement and association. Your bias blinds you and limits your understanding.

"Countries the US has raped the people and land of; Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kuwait, UAE to namejust the middle eastern countries"

Huh???? How exactly has the US raped the people and land of Iran? Kuwait (who treat us as heros who threw Saddam out after he RAPED AND PILLAGED their country)? Do you know of a single Kuwaiti who would back up such an absurd and silly baseless accusation? UAE???? Huh?

"The US destroyed Iraq's oil infrastructure knowing that american oil companies would have an inside track to getting contracts and permanent footholds in the country."

Please cite ONE credible source for your accusation. Time, Newsweek, New York Times, etc. If you can not provide a credible source, please cite the source of your "information". The US deliberately and carefully avoided damaging any oil infrastructure as much as possible as that would be counterproductive to helping the country get back on its feet after Saddam was overthrown. The vast majority of the damage was done by IRAQIs...not "freedom fighters" as they don't want freedom for anyone...they are not insurgents either...the correct name for them is terrorists.
