Very interesting article, Thomas. All should read it. Perhaps the emphasis of motive for war should instead of being about weapons of mass destruction should center on money of mass destruction--lol.

France and China are now saying they will veto. Russia is now on record as saying it will vote no (does this mean veto?). Pakistan is now saying it will abstain. I suspect most, if not all, of the six smaller nations in the middle of the resolution dispute will themselves abstain. This would could possibly create a superpower veto vote of three againt (France, China and Russia) against two (US and Britain). Not exactly the kind of results the radical fundamentalists in the White House are looking for.

Nice article! Good find! When people wonder "why is the President of the US so set on removing Saddam Hussein?" they forget the fact that: -- when Hussein is gone there will be new oil contracts between Iraq and Western Oil Companies -- those oil contracts will be approved by one man, in the end -- guess who that will be? -- that person is in a position to bestow IMMENSE benefits on those companies. -- since that same person has committed BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of public money to get to the position of being able to call the shots in Iraq, they are definitely OWED SOMETHING. -- In the end that person will be set for life or for generations of lives. New-dynasty type lives. Not making any accusation. I would just like anybody to tell me that it is any different than that. Namaste! Jim
