America wants to invade Iraq.
America wants to occupy Iraq.
The reasons given don't seem to stand up to much examination (though they obviously have inteligence
that none of us have access to).
So the reason must be something else.
Maybe it's oil but America has plenty of oil.
Maybe it's to draw attention away from political problems at home but it's creating a huge amount of
political ill will.
So maybe it's something else.
What would anyone suggest?
