Hello Snowshoe, <<Since then we've saved their sorry-assed butts twice. No more. Next time Germany invades France, we'll furnish the beer and bratwurst>> No you will do no such thing, because then the French would surrender, the Germans would attack England, unite Europe, and eventually come after the US, with Japan's help. How quickly we all tend to forget! Chugs, Jay

Snowshoe, Wars are always fought due to perceived national self-interest. Any "sorry asses saved" due to it is purely a side-effect of victory of one side and is in hindsight. The same is true now. The game of geo-politic chess is on and Bush strongly believes it is in US self interest to occupy IRAQ. Everything else is sub-ordinated to it, although it may be shown as the primary reason. THus liberation of Iraqi people, democracy in ME, etc are similar to the "Frech sorry asses". They may happen if US comes out victorious. If Hitler had won and USSR had not helped out then no sorry asses would have been saved. Simba
