<Of course. Clearly, the war was the correct and righteous thing to have done; no thinking person would argue otherwise today (actually, no THINKING person would have argued against it in the first place, but that is another matter).>

Sorry about my comments, I completely forgot that all America does is correct and righteous. Yes, they are the moral authority. Repeat after me...

<The reality is these other nations were owed billions, not by Iraq, but by Saddam Hussein, and they knew damned well they wouldn't get it -- and we need to see to it they don't. >

America was smart enough to get paid and to not go back and do business with Saddam Hussein and these countries are not looking at financial ruin because of this. People in those countries (and others) do actually think. Whether or not you agree with it is completely irrelevant but the sheer fact that the world's majority disagrees with the U.S. should have someone within the administration (other than Colin Powell) asking, why?
