andy, platt;
I argee with andy for the reasons that we went to
war.. I'd also add that Iraqi oil was also a factor in
the reason the United States was interested in war
with Iraq..
however.. at the end of the day .. it is good that
Saddam isn't in power anymore.
I think about josef heller's catch 22:
there is a line in there about not degrating an enemy
too much and also about people generally detest
someone or a nation that wins all the time.. we must
be careful in our dealings..
peace,
-August
