in reply to nice essee (actually I did read it) written by Blayke, you can put
the actual message in one word: oil. I've never understood why it is so hard
for a common American to confess that they are fighting for the oil, not
because Saddam is bad-bad-candyeating monster. As someone pointed out, there
are few other countril possessing far more dangerous threat than stone-age
Iraqians (with their Scud-missiles which barely fly all the way to Israel, not
to mention US.) but no action against them. Why ? No oil.
