" Ask yourself why. They know this is not about disarming Saddam, but about building an American empire."

I asked myself...and I was not able to read minds quite so easily as you, LH. I do NOT like Bush, and I have grave misgivings about his precise motives, but "building an American empire"???? Isn't that just a bit overdone? And I also am not convinvced about France...etc. motives for opposition....
