Well, Dr. Brin, it now appears that we have a conundrum.
It has been widely argued on this List that Bush is simply a pawn of his
father's advisors.
It has also widely been argued that even when Bush came into office that he
was hell-bent on invading Iraq.
You are now stating that in fact Bush and his advisors have been bought off
by the Saudis to *not* invade Iraq.
So, which is it? Were Bush & Co. forced reluctantly into invading Iraq
by the events of 9/11 and Iraq's continued thwarting of UN inspections?
Or was this just another example of every Bush policy being determined for
the benefit of a small group of frat brothers and Saudi princes? ( But
wait, the Saudi princes opposed this war - oh never mind....)
