Honestly, yes I do..
First, there's Israel, a country that a lot of people want wiped off the map. Their crime? Existing. They claim it's about Israel taking land from the Palestinians, but if they were the case, you'd think Syria or Egypt would give the Palestinians some of the land they took from Israel.

Secondly, the Middle East seems to be a leading supplier of terrorists who wish to wipe out anything the least bit liberal, secular, or otherwise non-facist. (Of course, they claim they are mad at the US because our foreign policy, politicians, stance on Israel, etc, but that's about as believable as anything you hear from Limbaugh)

You are right, though, to most, the Middle East wasn't viewed as much more than an endless supply of sand until the 30's.

I think if we're bringing up "Blood for Oil" we need to bring up a personal favorite "Bush Lied, People Died". I just love it how much this phrase gets thrown around without any supporting evidence. When did Bush lie? Can anyone tell me? The invasion was based on faulty intelligence, and it definitely could have been executed better, but if Bush lied, then so did Clinton and a host of other Democrats 3-4 years before the Iraq war who stated that Saddam Hussein was a grave threat to world stability and therefore should be removed from power. If Clinton had gone into Iraq, he would have been praised a hero, and liberals everywhere would be giving him a gentle pat on the back when no WMDs were discovered, saying "It's not your fault".
