It is truly amazing to see what people really think about the war in Iraq and the price of oil in towns and cities across this nation. Many people simply take and the nightly news and adopt those opinions discussed on television as their own. However, there is a group of people who we should probably call the silent majority who feel otherwise. This group of real Americans is not swayed by the political correctness observed on television.

In fact, when you listen to these people talk you get a whole different perspective of what is going on and what people really think about. They say such things as; This is not right and it is unacceptable. As I sit in coffee shops across the country and meet with people who work for a living and have a family they often say things off-the-cuff that are a little disturbing. One gentleman the other day told me; let's just nuke the Middle East and take the G-darn oil.

Another one told me; $500 billion for Iraq might say they owe us some oil and a lot of it. It appears that people are getting very upset and when Iran threatens to raise the price of oil if we attempt to prevent them from building nuclear weapons to give to international terrorist, folks are just not going to go for that, as they are very upset. They demand their quality of life and that comes first and many of whom are now calling for war if anyone stands in our way. All for the price of oil people are just that angry. Consider this in 2006.
