Oh, so now we are to believe that the US was to be trusted???

Hmmmmm???

Given the history in the region Saddam had every reason to not trust US... I mean, we didn't exactly have a good track record there... Saddam did what he was backed into having to do... He was bluffing Iran because he lived in daily fear that Iran was going to attack him... Now here was the good ol' US lieing A with a cowboy for presdient who everyone knew was itching fir a new war ("Wag the Dog") and Saddam did the only thing he could...

Another completely bogus argument laid to rest...

As fir wars... Think about it, Sawz... We are now into a globalized, interlocking world economy... That changes a lot of stuff... One of which is the real possibility that war is for 3rd worlders and not for major players... It is too disruptive to the moving of goods, services, labor, materials, etc... War interupts that flow... So we have an opportunity here to break the cycle...

But as long as we have a culure that thinks, "Geeze, we hate war but it is inevitable" then we will have, ahhhhhhh, wars...

Time to rethink rather than reload...
