<we are not surprised, as CB, Hamoon and Maurice are.> TJ, there you go again, making up untruth. I am not surprised. I even got the number of post-invasion USA casualties to guerilla war about right, though I thought it would reach these numbers a year or two ago. You can do searches if you want to. I even got the time taken for the invasion process right - 110 minutes [one Globalstar orbit time, which was poetic license as it would obviously take longer than that even to drive to Baghdad]. Mq didn't agree with CB and Hawkmoon on either the WMDs, [search BigFoot] or other basis for invasion, but I didn't see it as especially a bad thing that a more civilized dictator would take over from Saddam. I don't mind that you make things up. It's your world that is confused, not mine. Suit yourself. I did think that a change of ownership of the oil from Saddam and cronies would be no bad thing and that has now been effected. Though Saddam could well still end up in charge of it again [the future not being inevitable until it is definitely so - such as Uday will not inherit the oil]. As you say, China signs contracts. Japan has conquered NZ much more effectively by chequebook than by rifle and bomb. Shooting one's way to products and services is much less effective in modern economies. The USA has spent a LOT of money on messing around in Iraq, to not much good effect. But they have had a lot of fun. BTW, how long is it since you have heard the USA haranguing China about human rights? Mqurice
