Why Bush Went to War

I agreed with this author of this article to a point, but I disagree with him on some areas. Firstly, I think that the three points that he spoke of are definite contributors to President Bush's decision. I think of the three, the main point would be the oil. Oil effects us more directly than Israel, and even though we would like to occupy land in the Middle East through our military, I think the matter of just oil is the most significant. One point that I disagree with is how the author claims that Bush did not go to war because of al-Qeada and 9/11, but used these things as excuses to go to war. I think that all of these, including the three points the author mentioned early in the article were all contributing factors to President Bush's decision to go to war.
