I also think it is germane (spelling correct?), for the reason that any war action is in context of the government doing it's Constitutional duty of providing for the common defense, without which, the president could be impeached, and we could get another 9/11, and it could happen here in Minneapolis and with Minneapolis people endangered by it. I expect that Saddam Hussien would happily pay families of suicide bombers $25,000 each for such activities within the United States -and in Minneapolis- as well as he does in Isreal. The comment that President Bush just wants to get the oil is purposefully false argument. I am sure the Iraqy's would like to loose the restrictions on selling their oil, and any refineries, -American or foreign- would buy the crude and pay market price for it. James Jacobsen // Whittier
