It is interesting to be called a liberal and a bigot in the same post.

It is, isn't it? It's also true. That's what bugs me about too many liberals: this self-righteous belief that because they are liberal, they are immune to bigotry

But that is exactly how you and Warbler sound like.

Warbler is a liberal, BTW. And if he and I sound alike in this regard, I'm not ashamed. It's true. You are a bigot and a liberal.

But I'm pretty confident it wasn't a 'get rich quick in Iraq's oil fields' scheme. If so, it was a lousy investment.

That is because you are narrow sighted. It isn't just oil. By going to war you automatically boost your economy.

You get it moving, but you don't make a profit. It jump starts the economic gears, but it doesn't bring in revenue. On the contrary, it is extremely costly and ultimately damages an economy. That is how one wins a war: by exhausting the enemy's ability to make war, generally economically.
