Dont be fooled guys....
There is a strong case for attacking Iraq, but unfortunately its a hard case to make to a public and an even harder case to make to foreign governments who still see Iraq having weapons of mass destruction as a kind of equality (stupid though that may seem).
End of the day any attack on Iraq will have *devastating* consequences for the entire world so I would urge you to think along these lines. Remember that one of the biggest sources of world wealth is in oil - which the middle east has a monopoly on.
They turn the taps off..... our cars, planes and tanks stop rolling so from a strategic point of view they kinda hold the cards and I suspect that this is an underlying reason why US want to get a "foothold" in Iraq. Russia has been forging alliances with Iran and Iraq (as you recently saw on CNN) with their new trade deals so I think we can count our "apparent" friend out. And as the war goes on, we will lose more and more support so its just us.
Wish there was another solution.
