<i > If trade sanctions were perfect, no one would be buying Iraqi oil, and the global supply of oil would shrink somewhat. The result is higher prices, though not on the order of $3-4 a gallon. The sanctions allow Hussein to sell oil. How does not going to war in Iraq and "cleaning up the mess", which is the point I understood JimM to be making, cause the price of oil to go to $3 or $4? So in a sense, I do agree with you that it's all about oil. Saddam Insane wouldn't even have the money to fund his weapons programs or maintain his oppressive regime without it. So let's let the inspectors go back in there and confirm this business of weapons, without pre-ordaining a war and subverting their effort or veiling regime change in it. I actually agree with the policy of putting teeth in the inspection process. I just don't trust that the adminstration is not using the UN for what amounts to little more than a cover for war. All indications are that it is. Al
