I expect you're quite right, Raoul, about the double standard.

I'm beginning to buy into the argument that Iraq was in the Bush admin's crosshairs even before 9/11, and it's tough to entertain that possibility without coming to some fairly damning conclusions about our current government...not just the possibility that they sought to invade a country that was no threat to us, but also that they leapt upon and misused a national disaster to acheive that end.

I can't discount the possibility that the entire thing revolves around oil. This county's been on an oil bender for decades. At the very least, oil may represent the pot-o-gold at the end of the bloodied rainbow. What's the point of spending billions to liberate an oppressed people if there's no ROI at the end of the day?
