>>>Washington concludes that it would be wiser not to go at all [to war] than to go it alone.<<< It's sorta getting that way. Many have been the past weeks where FoxNews has reported: Turkey's with us to the North and the Saudis are with us from the South. Almost like: Rah-rah-rah-sis-cum-bah! Never mind the quality to finding evidence of weapons of mass destruction; I've seen no evidence to indicate either Turkey or Saudi Arabia are firmly in the U.S. camp on a war with Iraq! For sure, the Saudis would like to continue to take advantage of Iraq's inability to become a world-leading oil producer; and the Turks would just love the opportunity to put its army in control of the land of Iraqi Kurds. But I don't think there's any evidence such that either of those nations will be firmly marching side by side with those whistling Yankee Doodle in the midst of an invasion into Iraq. Were Bush to go at this war alone he'd be sent to a corner, one he'd never get out of, by future historians. And leaders from nations almost everywhere would loudly spout the question: "Why'd you do that?" Most rational thinking minds, including those from other nations, would conclude there's gotta be a reason to kill a million people. The reason to kill so many in World War II was that it was to end the war. But does America have to do this now in order to start what could become World War III?
