Porno,

Two of them are editorials, which are of course opinions from the traditionally left-wing Times. My point was that the motivations behind this sudden Iraqi obsession seem to have little to do with 'homeland security' and more to do with the almighty dollar.

Yes Russia and other countries have a lot at stake in Iraq, deals that will undoubtedly continue on and grow stronger in the wake of a possible invasion, since the US will definitely NOT financially support the new Iraq on its own. On the flipside, the US refused to vote on UN security council resolutions against Israel during the latest West Bank occupation.

I think you missed the point of the news article, which is that the US is now considering not only invading the country, setting extremely dangerous precedents in world policy, but also considering treating Iraq like post-WW2 Japan. The US occupying and running a muslim country for a year? The fallout could be cataclysmic.
