You can't overlook Bush's interest in Iraq's rich oil reserves, the second largest in the world so your
comparison to the Spanish American War may be a good one. If W were truly worried about weapons
of mass destruction, he would have to look seriously at North Korea, and he hasn't although North
Korea might be the next theater for a President who envisons a continuous around-the-world war.

I believe Bush will surely invade Iraq and thousands of Americans may die but the loss of their
life is worth the wealth that Iraq's oil reserves will bring to the US oil companies that
made huge contributions to W's campaign for President.

Bush wants the terrorist from Germany extradicted to the US in a hurry but he is not in such
a hurry for Tony Blair to extradict three bankers related to the Enron disaster.
