This war is all about colonialism, oil, race and religion!

2. Who knows?
I remember I had a professor tell me the only reason we didn't conquer Mexico was good old fashioned racism - didn't want any more brown skinned folk in our country.

3. Rove hates Swedes
If only, he would probably say. This was reported perhaps humourously? in another thread, because Rove felt part of a downtrodden Norwegian heritage.

If you said overwight white people in pickups or limos it would have made more sense.

9. Rove is of Norwegian descent?
What happened to him? Is he an example of what happens even to Norwegians when they spend a few generations in Texas?

He's sure no Walter Mondale. I'm from the upper Midwest and I don't recall running into too many Norwegian-American right-wing looney tunes.

7. I disagree, the American people would never stand for Caucasian
blonde haired people being treated this way.

It's about the oil.

All else is enabling subterfuge.
