Let me spell it out: If we attack Iraq on our own, we can take all of the oil for ourselves. Russia, China, and France have Security Council veto power. If we go through the UN, we have to obtain approval from those other countries. They will demand their oil contracts be honored. Bush & Co. have been desperately trying to avoid going through the UN in attacking Iraq for exactly this reason. Tom P.S. "The enemy aggressor is always pursuing a course of larceny, murder, rapine and barbarism. We are always moving forward with high mission, a destiny imposed by the Deity to regenerate our victims while incidentally capturing their markets, to civilize savage and senile and paranoid peoples while blundering accidentally into their oil wells." John Flynn in 1944
