No, I get your point, and \you're wrong. Iraq was a fifth rate power with no WMDs, and didn't have anything to do with 9-11. So instead of concentrating our forces against the 9-11 terrorists in Afghanistand (and Pakistan) we go after Iraq, and lose more than 700 lives in this worthless venture.

Actually..this is all far from being a worthless venture.

Iran has been trying to build nuclear weapons....Iran has proxy terror orgs all over the mideast and beyond.
Sleazy House of Saud is hanging by a thread..nearly 80% of their population are for Osamma and company.

Kurds were soon to break away from Iraq..here the reality would have undone the Turks...and that would have meant what to the Caspain oil/gas flow....the pipleines to the *Stans..the oil/gas to China.

England has vast holdings via BP Oil in the Gulf.
England has antied in with America...Brothers against fascim and communism since WW-2.

The Gulf states do not have a fluid/cohesive military that has been tried in Battle..even though they posesses modern technology..they would collapse against Aggressor Iraq with no help from America,England and other coalition forces.

Oil is the lubricant of the fiscal machinery of our world...this alone dictates that Iraq cannot be left to Saddams scheming..terror orgs..or to Iran.

It was only a matter of time before Iran subterfuged Iraq..had Saddam killed..and set up Lebanon on the Euphrates.

Wow, you just demonstrated how far behind the curve you are on this subject, both factually and analytically.

I guess Saddam just dropped leaflets on the Kurds, huh?

Evidence is mounting that the biggest reason we haven't found more in the way of WMDs is that while the UN was playing their delaying game so as to not lose their backhanded income, Saddam had plenty of opportunity to hide them real well and send them across the border into Syria. But then, you'll have to actually keep up with the news to realize this, which you obviously haven't.
