If we're willing to invade Iraq solely because "it's the right thing to do," and that is the latest rationale for that clusterfuck, why can't we leave pristine lands alone for the very same reason?

Jesus, why must we destroy everything?

You are just repeating the typical liberal mantra, its gonna kill the enviroment and the poor caribou. Well, we already drill up there and we had the same fight with the enviro-whackos the last time. And guess what?? None of what they said would happen, happened!! The caribou population doubled and the enviroment in Alaska is fine. I went on a cruise up there and it was great.

Find a new and realistic argument.
