,Forum Lurker: People hear "US interests" and they see oil interests and money interests only. Others see security interests, humanitarian interests or in the interest of peace. I see it as being all of those interests. The Iraqi people need money and they have oil to sell. Right now most of it is being diverted by Saddam for his non humanitarian activities. The US has an interest in fighting terrorism and keeping war from breaking out in the middle east or anywhere in the world. In some places we cannot interfere like Chechnya. In other places we can and should. Some times it is a disaster like Vietnam or Somalia but most of the times it is a success like Panama or Serbia. Old guy
