>Well, I'm not all that sure that Saddam would have been very successful attacking Saudi Arabia, but be that as it may, assuming the U.S. attacked Iraq because they wanted the oil available to themselves, then I think you're pointing at the wrong schoolyard bully.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
