a lousy war with Iraq you will the say the same thing, but this time it will be the Jews instead of the Catholics.

Nahh, that will be the "anti-semites" line. This war will be for a lot of reasons. It could not have happened without 911, which will make us thankful for 911 if we discover Saddam was close to an A Bomb, or find he had plans to hit us here with Bio or chem.

It will help the Israelis, of course, and will forever change the Middle East. As I watch our preparations, I am reminded more and more of the opening sequence of Heinlein's book, "Starship Troopers," where the troops descended on an unnamed country in retaliation. Have you looked at pictures of the new "battle dress" and weapon systems that the army is designing for our men? Do them in white and the guys would look like "Star Wars" Soldiers of the Empire.
