As I said before, where is the precedent? In Kuwait or Afghanistan? In Kosovo? Where is the indication that "Bush" is after the "oil"? It is only rumors spread by people that see a plot in everything.

The Liberation of Iraq will likely take longer than the liberation of Kuwait.

I may stand to be corrected but I think the no-fly zones were defined in a UN resolution; the US and the UK are enforcing them. Otherwise there would have been a UN resolution for the US and UK to stop. Are there any complaints from the people in Northern Iraq? Do they want us to leave?

It is my impression that Northern Iraq is a sort of no mans land that was part of Kurdistan. Turkey took part of it and Iraq took part of it but the people there don't want anything to do with Iraq or Turkey.

It sounds like a region that could easily turn into another Afghanistan ruled by al-Qaida and the Taliban if there was no American or British presence there. Is any one haulig oil or other riches out of northern Iraq? If not, we must not be there for the money.

There is an extremist group there that bombs the beauty parlors and throws acid in the faces of women that do not have their faces covered. Maybe we should turn our back on these people too.
