Ted Re..You are so full of moral indignation and self righteosness that you can't see how this nasty action proposed by Bush is viewed by the rest of the world. I know exactly why Europe see's it the way it does. It was highlighted by Villepins speech before the UN Thursday when they applauded when Villepin said this. In response to this question, France has two convictions: The first is that the option of inspections has not been taken to the end and that it can provide an effective response to the imperative of disarming Iraq; The second is that the use of force would be so fraught with risks for people, for the region and for international stability that it should only be envisioned as a last resort. Its obvious France is too afraid to stand up for what is right, so it decided to weasel out, and place the burden on the US; and the rest of Europe by applauding, agreed. War is beyond the last resort for France, because Europe has no military capacity whatsoever, so Europe's only recourse is to beg for more time so as to forestall the inevitable. It would be like you getting in a gun fight with a knife. You might win, but not likely. Sorry........your comments above are so ludicrous, they're not worth responding to. Of course you won't, because you have no answer, except to throw insults. . You know as well as I that when you buy stocks, you look for growth. Growth is what makes them valuable in the future. Growth also is important to our economy, so important that without growth, our budget would be in deep do do,with or without any expenditures for Iraq or the war on terrorism. This uncertainty about the war on terrorism is costing the US growth big time, and the longer it goes on the more it costs.

Any provisional gov't will be seen as a puppet of the US and that we set it up so we can get a cut of the oil money. So then.....if you don't plan on spending any US money for the rebuilding, then we best do the war, set up a provisional gov't and leave. If the money spent by the provisional government is spent for the benefit of Iraq then the only ones who will see it as the Americans stealing Iraqi money are those who would see it that way no matter what we did. But we will spend US money as well. Tim
