And I was out for lunch today and heard that Canada has agreed to help build Iraq once the US is finished leveling it. =) Pretty funny cause I mentioned that was what we were probably going to do anyway. lol
What a world we live in. lol

Sam,
You are looking at worst case scenarios. War sucks, I agree. It doesn't change the fact that is must be done, that Saddam himself is sacrificing his people to save his own behind. His soldiers are boobytrapping oil wells, the number one source of wealth for his country.

We need to get in and out as fast as possible, to prevent catastrophic collateral damage. It may kill 1,000 or even 10,000 innocent Iraqi's, but if we didn't their death toll could be 100,000 easily, or much much more. That is the reality being faced today.

It doesn't suprise me that Canada is up to help rebuild. It is to any countries economic advantage to do so. The oil in Iraq is immense. What frustrates me, is the humanitarian pretext to people volunteering, after thirty some odd countries sacraficed to liberate the land.

That is all, for now.
