Brian, thanks for posting this. Perhaps if the US signs an agreement that it will not participate in ANY oil contracts in a post-Saddam Iraq it could neutralize the doubt and the fury raised by this point of the preemptive war debate.
Of course, an administration that did not honor previous agreements made in the name of Americans might have some difficulty being believed. I hate to rattle old sabers on a mournful weekend, but a Pres. Gore would not have these conflicts of interests, an environmentally and business sound administration would not appear to the world as the Prime Suspect in yet another grab for resources, and a fiscally responsible economic plan from the Superpower to handle it's own domestic economic problems would give more credibility to the claims that this is a preemptive war based on good intentions. - Karen Brian wrote: Perhaps this might cause Lawry to ponder.
