This is great. Thanks.

It's all about oil

If all we wanted from Iraq was oil, we could have gotten it more easily by making peace (not war) with Saddam.

What annoys me is the argument asking, "Why now?" ("If Saddam has been bad for such a long time, why are we only just now thinking of taking action?")

My answer is, "If I ignore an infected toe for a week, does that mean I never can consult a doctor for treatment of that toe? Am I not still allowed to get treatment to remove the infection, when I finally make the decision to take action?"
