If the war was not about oil, then why would there be any objection to international assistance in the reconstruction of the country? Senator Biden asked just that question last night on the news.

<font color=brown>I mean, what is it we don't want the rest of the world doing? Well, one thing we all agree on, we don't want the rest of the world commanding U.S. troops. What else is there in Iraq? Well they're setting up a political government, a government that can function. Don't we want the rest of the world to have a say, say this is a legitimate undertaking, isn't that a good thing for us or is it we don't want anyone to contract any of the oil fields or have any contracts to rebuild Iraq? I hope to gosh that's not the reason why we're not asking others to get in. That would be the stupidest thing in the world in my view.

So I look at it and I wonder what is the hold-up here?</font>
