I rationalize nothing BV,
in fact the only politician I would fight for, is one that is willing to lead me into battle.

Let us look at the most likely reason for the war in Iraq. Business runs the world, not politics. The politiciams may posture and ponce about, but in the end they make little difference.

Saddam was starting to write his oil contracts in Euros. If all the middle-eastern countries had followed suit, the devaluation of the US$,would have made the cost of rhe war look like petty cash. So the "good ole boys", have shored up their currency for a few more years yet.

You don't think for one instant, that they could have given a stuff if there was no oil there.

Regards......Ralph.
