That's what the members of the League of Nations thought about the German
military in the 1930s.

It would take about 20 years for Iraq's oil production pay for the cost of
making it usable the way the left-wing extremists keep saying it will.
Obviously Iraq's oil has little to do it anything with the possiblity of war.

I heard a funny thing on the news about the Protest in Washington. It was
organized by ANSWER. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism)
http://www.InternationalANSWER.org/
Right on their page is the following statement: "Support Self Determination for
the People of the Middle East" So by stopping the war and preserving a
dictatorship that publicly executes civilians who voice disagreement is how we
"Support Self Determination for the People of the Middle East"
Digging around the ANSWER site a little you will come across this site:
http://www.workers.org/wwp.php
Now everything makes perfect sense. This whole thing isn't about whats best for
the people of Iraq it is about instituting the great ideal of communistic
socialism on everyone and fighting the evil capitalist US. (yes sarcasm was
intended)
