Searle, you obviously must change your opinions because even the aliens clearly support the U.S.A. Sad to watch the aftermath of this war in the "cradle of civilization". The looting and lawlessness, looting of hospitals, and now the complete sacking of the national museum containing priceless items. These institutions received no protection, unlike the oil fields. From this, how can anyone doubt where the important focus is....where the money interests are. And soon, when things are brought under some control, the bankers will arrive. What are they going to do about state sponsored medicare, free schools/universities, or the price of gasoline which is 10c per gallon? Just some minor details. Again they are reporting a possible find of a chemical weapon, while the Iraqi chief scientist/spokesman still insists there aren't any WMDs. I watched Rumsfeld the other day uncomfortably and quickly dismissing questions regarding Iraqi WMDs, while other speakers are de-emphasizing the importance of WMDs, pointing out the brutality of the regime instead, and insisting that was reason enough for the "war". Funny how these things change. There is also now some discussion about American influence and control of the entire region. This obviously was the intent and reason for the "war" in the first place. Iran, Syria, even Saudi Arabia and Egypt must be wondering what the next move in US "diplomacy" will be. I sincerely wish the US success, and won't mind admitting I was wrong if proven to be so. It's a huge and bold gamble, reshaping world alliances. Phil
