I've been reading this thread. There is no question in my mind - that raving idiot Bush is going to attack Iraq about oil - nothing else. Why not do something about North Korea? Those buggers are busy as bees making Nuclear Weapons? Why? ... because they don't have oil fields the US needs to control. The fact that 'God's Country' has to import 60% of its oil is like an albatross, or a millstone hanging from the neck. That's what the American dream gets you in the end. Three car families may have to pay the price. Sell a car, maybe even two, for scrap and the problem would be solved be overnight. Or would it? Now I shall be silent.
