Note: Eighteen years after the start of the Gulf War, the U.S. is still fighting in Iraq.  Veterans for Common Sense has long held that our addiction to oil is a major cause of the war in Iraq.  We believe drilling for oil off our coast or occupying another country to steal their oil are short-sighted and counter-productive.  Rather, we need to think outside the box and find ways to conserve energy and find alternative sources that are not fossil fuels such as oil.
