which intelligence agency supplied you with the information that israel has nukes pointed at G.B.?yes,the empire has left a stink there from the mandate days,but i hardly think israel will act on it.
the pres took full responsibilty for his mistaken comment.like marcel said it was a-go beforehand anyway.politics and all aside,who gives a bleep?
if america should go into liberia,hows iraq any differant.
terrorists are very cozy in the middle east.if we woulda taken out bin laden before 911 the same issues would probably have arisen.so yes i think saddam was a threat.and what about all the u.n. resolutions that comfirm this?
u.s. is not the world police force.the u.n. is supposed to manage a "security council".they themselves have blunted their influence etc..
by not acting.i guess lucritive arrangements with iraq and some prominent european members would have no connection.
(i wish there would be a visible kick-em u.n. anti terrorist unit
)i think the most important strategy of the operation was left underdevoped i.e. the human factor.this can be left unsaid its so obvious when we hear of continued fighting.the iraqis dont want us there.would you admit you would feel the same if the situation was reversed?probably.
in a region of fundamentalism its almost by default that democracy would not take root.by democracy i mean freedom of speech,equality et al, not what some cynics would call pax americana.the shi'its are screaming bloody murder.pro american mayors are killed.is there a spin docter in the house?

p.s. wasnt it norman mailer with the theory that the war was invented to boost the american male ego? whatever
