I don't ever believe that massive groups of Arabs would invite the "great Satan" into their midst and welcome him with open arms. Nor do I believe that anyone in the administration would seriously believe this to be the case. The whole scenario is quite complex, and it's an over simplification to say "it's the oil" or "it's the weapons of mass destruction" or "it's freedom for the Iraquis" or "it's Al Queda (sp?)", etc. It's all of these things and more. Some aspects of the campaign are no doubt tied up with classified information that we are not privy to, and that's as it should be, although that irks the CIA baiters no end. -- Collins _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
