I think it boils down that 9/11 woke us up to the notion of portability. Here you have a maniac, a declared enemy of the US, a history of instability and lawlessness, no respect for life, and a stockpile of incredibly damaging agents. All that adds up to a very big threat. However, just because we threaten military force and mean it, that doesn't say we want to use it. Anybody who says we want war is essentially thinking us insane. Our founding fathers did a pretty good job of programming insanity out of the system here by the separation of powers structure of the US Constitution. If the US "wanted" war, we wouldn't have spent all that effort at the UN. We may have consulted the UN, but we would have gone our own way sooner.

Nice stock thread over here. Anyway I disageee the US will NOT attack IRAQ just due to the oil. The US has plenty of Oil in Alaska and the Soviets also have ample supplies on its east coast to be developed. Both of these areas will end up being eaiser to develop than IRAQ. You question if there is any WMD. So do most americans. IRAQ can eaisly avoid an attack by allowing UN inspectors free and unfettered access. Sadamn now knows he has a choice and the current administraton is not just joing to send in a cruise missle when Sadamn makes a transgression. Unfortunately time has shown agressive types like Sadamn only agree to peace when someone is waving a bigger stick than they have (and the US may be forced to use it).
