You can't prove that besides saying that anti-American countries with natural resources are criticized a lot more than anti-American countries without natural resources.

And what I said wasn't conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theory would be saying that the government tried to justify the Iraqi invasion with terrorists reason while actually attacking because of natural resources. I am saying that because Iraq is a major oil supplier, they will naturally be watched than someone who isn't a major oil supplier.
