It is easier to go after Iraq than it is to address seriously the intractable problems of the Middle East, in particular the Palestinian question. Of course, going after Iraq will ultimately compound those problems geometrically. M2

Why aren't Iraqis living abroad demonstrating against the war? Perhaps you have more humanitarian concern for the Iraqi people than those with relatives there. Or perhaps you have not so much at all. guardian.co.uk

Zonder, would you mind sending off a message to Iraq's UN mission asking them to account for their weapons of mass destruction so war can be avoided? Here is their email address: MissionOfIraq@nyc.rr.com Thank you.

Have you talked to any of the FOUR MILLION Iraqis in exile and asked them why they left? Asked them about the torture and murder of their family members. That's ONE SIXTH of the total population. An equivalent number in the United States would be 50 million fleeing the country. What about the TWENTY MILLION left living under total terror from a maniac and his henchmen. It's a numbers game, and this time a war means less total suffering in the long run, IMO. Tough decision to make that many people can't face up to. Your oil company remark is totally irrelevant to the argument of whether we go to war or not. But there always have been and probably always will be "spoils of war". I can hardly wait to find out how much the French and Germans were up Saddam's butt when we finally get into Saddam's inner enclave.
