    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
