[Off topic] - No we don't both know that the only reason that the U. S. cares about Sadam is black gold.

I think if Vietnam taught us anything, it was not to get involved in conflicts that you can't first "sell" to the American public. I think the fact that oil is involved makes it more salable, not necessarily the reason. I know, not a pretty view of the US/world populace, but one I think is valid. Makes it easier for the world(UN) to be on board also. I do think the primary reason is the fact that here is a nut with horrible weapons that everyone in power is pretty sure he will use. IMO, people generally need to be hit over the head(see something horrible after the fact) before agreeing to send US troops anywhere, short of that, they have to be sold on the idea. I remember Afghanistan.

Last one al-len. ;-)
