Aries,

With this sort of logic and sense it’s a wonder your not instrumental in making US foreign policy.

I have more up my sleeve…
No seriously though Thap..its not my actual sense of logic…I am just stating what is happening..and I believe what Changez said to my comments..USA will do what it will decide to do..thats what I am also stating..but with a tongue in cheek tone..
This is about power and proving it for now..is nt it always about power??

Don’t believe in all what you are told by FOX, MSNBC and the crap. This is their job to tell American public that “the whole world is with us, its just they don’t want to admit”, “the terrorists are jealous of our independence, democracy” etc.

Every country has its own issues/problems regarding attack on Iraq.

Saudi Arabia: fears that when Iraq is attacked there will be internal political problems (may be public uprising). after successful removal of Saddam Hussein, KSA’s importance will decline and may soon be included in “axis of evil”.

All countries have their own set of problems when Iraq is attacked and then Saddam removed thats why they are opposing this war.

“Its not the cowardice, stupid”.

It still is, and will remain the issue for next 15-20 years, or until America looses its “Super Cop” (or Chief Gangster) title.

Saddam is not a recent “crazy loon”. He has been made all this power by the great uncle SAM, by awarding all the chemical weapons, technology, other weapons during its war against “the other element of axis of evil”.

Saddam is not a recent threat, he has been there for several decades now.

Was he not a threat when he gassed masses in 1988? Why did US not attack Iraq then? because it was not in US “interest”.

America does not want to use “its own Oil Reserves” because they are expensive to touch compared to the dirt cheap prices available from exporters like Saudi Arabia, Iraq etc.

Yes, of course, “the cop” has to do the dirty job. Iraq shall be bombed come what may, the Bush is determined.

Thank you for a refernce to the context to my humble views:hehe:
Seriously, though..all agreed and I said it all but differently…the point I want to talk about is this: Fox,CNBC etc we know are maee baap ke tulle..but this is whats pumping the hype..dont you get it…everyone except the few who bother to watch BBC will listen to this…and then decide their views on it…it doesnt matter whether I go online and read BBC only…

Actually I think a small episode that involved the taking of American hostages had a little to do Iran's unfavor with the US.

And a little excursion by Saddam into Kuwait had something to do with his positioning in Washington.

Highly unlikely.
Do you think value of average American citizen is more than the oil conglomerate?
