Do you really? Have you thought Pauls proposition all the way through? Somehow, I doubt it.

You see, when you actually Declare War, in a way that is internationally undeniable, the international Rules of War apply. This means "to the victor go the spoils". We could OWN Iraq and its oil wells instead of having to put up with harrassing actions by left over Ba'ath militants. Privateers could have captured, and made a profit from, those caches of thousands of firearms found buried around Iraq. Money could have been MADE by all, instead of spending billions a month on continued ops in Iraq.

Which makes more sense to you?
