John, My initial reaction to expropriation was similar to yours, but i am thinking more about it. Perhaps part of it sold to finance the war and the rest of the proceeds held in trust for the iraqi people would be a fair solution? If one buys into the necessity of the war against Sadam in the first place this solution is not a stretch. Not to use the power we have attained for what will most assuredly be a limited time, might be the greater crime than perceived arrogance? Can imagine a time when we bemoan our fate for not acting when we had the power. Can you imagine living in a world where iraq, north korea et al are tossing around small pox, chemicals and nukes. mike
