Why we're going to war:

• because we can
• so Bush the Younger is a shoo-in for a second term (and perhaps a third?)
• Wag the Dog?
• we are the only bullies left since the USSR dissolved
• to grab control of the oil supplies (who do you think that will benefit most?)
• so Bush the Younger can wear one of those commander in chief hats
• to distract attention from Reagan's (another Republican) screwed up economy
• nobody can kick sand in Charles Atlas' face and get away with it
• all of the above
• none of the above

Why not Saudi Arabia?

After all, most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi

Should we intervene in another country and perhaps assassinate their leader?

Sure. We reinstated the Shah in Iran after he was deposed by a democratic government (Mossadeg). We intervened in the Philippines after WWII to install ?. We overthrew governments in Guatemala, Nicaragua. We interfered in Chile, Haiti, Cuba, China, Viet Nam.

So why not Iraq?
