In case you haven't figured it out, there isn't going to be a war.

Some people say that - that it is all bluff and there will be no war. It is also unclear - if you sweep away the propaganda - why Iraq would be the target of this war. List all the factors on paper, and they ought to be slamming either Saudi Arabia or Iran. However, they have apparently decided not to. And for even more obscure reasons, the US has decided to increase foreign aid to North Korea, which is waving nuclear weapons around.

These are very strange days, in terms of foreign relations.

I have heard that for symbolic reasons, they are waiting for 3 March - 03/03/03 - to launch the war. That is when the moon is in recess, and the last day before the Islamic New Year. But it is very odd that they would wait this long, rather than last year, in December. Then the weather would have been much better. Dreadful heat building up from now on and dust storms in April.
