The claim that this was the root of the Iraq war, of course. Pure
paranoid conspiracy theory...

It was one of the "real" causes of the Iraq war. Can't have OPEC
countries accepting anything but dollars, or else someone could get
hurt (to borrow from the likes of Tony Soprano).

What evidence do you have that this was one of our reasons for
invading Iraq?

He has no evidence. Just a loony conspiracy theory by a leftist
professor at Berkeley.

Rand practicing censorship. Why don't you debate the professor on your
blog? I dare you!

Dr. Scott is probably the most impeccable researcher out there with
