>With the mistaken help of the U.S. Iraq and Iran fought a war for 8 years and at the end their borders remained unchanged (tiny differences, apparently).

Yes, and did Saddam stop fighting because of diplomacy? No.

>In 1991 Iraq was push back out of Kuwait and is back at the original borders again.

Did Saddam leave because of diplomacy? No

>In 2003, Iraq has NOT VETURED OUTSIDE OF ITS BORDERS FOR OVER 12 YEARS. In 2003 Iraq has NO KNOWN TIES to Al-Quaida or to global terrorism, though lord knows every snake has been examined minutely to find a scent of connection.
>Acknowledging that Saddam is EVIL and that Saddam ONLY UNDERSTANDS FORCE, what is the basis, again, for warring with him... that he probably has WMD. IS it really uncountenanceable that inspectors could be left to roam Iraq forever if that keeps the WMDs that he PROBABLY has buried in the sands??? WHY war without provocation?????

I have made my points repeatedly on Iraq. I am not going to repeat them again.

>I left it the first time, assuming that you hadn't really thought it through. But when you do start getting it back it will include:
>- vacating all the military bases that you use to monitor the world;

That would be fine with me. What you fail to point out is the governments (many of them democratically elected governments - Great Britain and Germany for starters), want our bases there. Remember, it costs us money to have those bases there. Taxpayer money. And when our troops go out to the retail establishments around the base, who do you think benefits?

>- vacating all the factories where U.S. corporations exploit workers and the environment so us "haves" can have fancy sneakers and cheap clothes and cheap toys and...

No one is forcing the workers to work there. They don't want to work, they don't have to.

>- other similar things...

>... and when the bill is added up for repatriating all this stuff to reasonable state the few dollars left will be sent back.

Fuzzy math. Our bases leave, and those countries loset the money that American soldiers spend there. Why do you think these countries ask to have our bases? Our factories leave, and those workers don't have money to feed their families. You really like in some kind of dream world.

>BULLYING is always profitable and fun, until the bullied decide that enough is enough.

Like I said... when the countries don't want our aid, please just let us know.
