this hyperpower talk that you mention - the collateral benefits, we might call them - it's precisely why the Russians and France are eager to stymie our war. they have laid so many booby traps that we will either not do this at all or we will be hamstrung even in victory. Both dont want to be eclipsed by USA.

I cant wait for the USA to 'get it on' and done with, and liberate Iraq.
The delay is damaging us now.

I agree. What would you do in their place? it's not hard to understand their concerns. I'm sure China is a bit alarmed as well. I believe we will unleash some very impressive new weapons on Iraq for all the world to marvel at - and be intimidated by too.
