Whoa! That is quite an assertion! Is that not grounds for impeachment - War under false pretences? I would put a blowjob by an intern way below that one in my book. Surely there are better ways of regime change viz. American Finances, if there was no rush or threat. They couldda tried the exploding cigars again, no? The sons loved a smoke! Everyone in the world is in deficit financing mode, this is one expensive solution. I guess Uncle Sam could just get Ben Bernanke to run a few late night sessions on the printing presses for the 87Bn+. :) Catch is it aint just the cash! I was massively against the war, but I do believe that when an undemocratic regime changes - and this definitely counts as one - then all debts become null and void if a 'democratic election' occurs afterwards. This would give people an added impetus to kick out tyrants - a massive cash injection to their national finances. You want to deal with dodgy regimes, dont go expecting your cash back! I really cannot see The Rest of The World significantly helping the US here financially or otherwise, but who really knows? Not me! -macavity
