"Just money" is what people say about OPM, not their own. That expression represents abuse of capital which is literally, as bad as abuse of children [if we believe the anti-Nike mob who think they run cruel child sweatships]. There has been too much of the idea "it's only OPM" in recent years. Money represents learning, working, saving, investing - blood sweat and tears ... human life and hopes... When people stop saying "it's only money", we might be back on the straight and narrow. Mq PS: It's only sleep DJ .. giggle..

The beauty is that if we establish a base there we can stop supporting those despots in Saudi Arabia. Thus helping to erase an image of somewhat of a monster ourselves in the area. <<The probability of eventually leaving behind some kind of Arab Noriega in Bhagdad >> Yeah we have sucha history (the Sha of Iran comes to mind) But hopefully now that we are not involved in the cold war we don't have incentive to install an anti communist right wing monster of our own. Think about the possibilities a secular government, the oil starts flowing, the Iraqi people can reap the benefits, their lifestyle goes up ,Iranian youth seeing the possibilities finally get the courage to kick out the old Mullas. A new middle east is born and we all live happily ever after.....T'will more than pay for itself.
