War is Over, the Oil Has All Gone

The war is over, said Gordon Brown today. He has announced a plan to remove British Armed Forces from Iraq and has declared that we "leave Iraq a better place".
I'm wondering whether the war is actually over because Iraq is truly a better place (after hearing about car bombs going off almost everyday there, I'm not sure this is true) or whether there is no more oil to take, or another reason such as wanting another war somewhere else...
Well, anyway, my view about this news is simple. Too little, too late. Too many British citizens and Iraqi citizens, along with other nationalities who have fought in Iraq, have been killed. We haven't even been given a good enough reason for this war. Weapons of Mass Destruction that didn't exist. A dictator that was caught in a cave and hung. Other excuses that I can't remember, but all were unfounded. Excuses that do not excuse the death of these people.
Merry Christmas, war is over. For now.
