Re: Why don't they just buy the damn country and get this crap over with? Iraq has reserves of 115 billion barrels of oil. And probably a lot more. Those reserves are worth around $4 to $5 trillion. Some estimate that Iraq's reserves could be as high as 300 billion barrels. Then the value of the reserves would be more than $10 trillion. We could never afford to buy the country. More cost-effective to steal the oil in a $50 to $100 billion war. Of course, there will be some collateral damage. As many as 500,000 people are likely to die -- most of them Iraqis -- if the United States launches a military attack in Iraq to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, the British health professionals group Medact said Tuesday. Medact, the British affiliate of the 1985 Nobel peace laureate International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, said in a report ''Collateral damage -- the health and environmental coasts of war on Iraq'' that a high proportion of the casualties from the allied attacks and chaos created in the aftermath of the war would be children and refugees.
