Linda - let me field this one for you if you don't mind me showing a bit of solidarity. What's really happening in this war is that Haliburton, along with Bush and Blair's other crony companies, are waiting in the wings like vultures to descend on all those juicy "reparation" contracts. This is why Blair descended on DC this week with his top ten list of companies to get pieces of this reconstruction.
Makes a person wonder if the Marshall Plan after WWII was just a big scam(?)
And, by the way, in anticipation of all the flames to follow, I am a *rabid* conservative. I just don't happen to be a sucker.
