AnalogyLand... where someone like you dreams. It's all such a comically political analogy. Please follow me... Large musclebound bully at school pushes thru a crowd of people to the smaller child wearing spectacles... hmmmm.... bad analogy. Forget I said any of that.... Start Over... More or less... the US is destined to randomly kick some major ass in Iraq sometime soon. (guess we've diverted energy from the Osama hunt.) The leaders of America seem so concerned about Sadam's Iraqi possible clandestine nuclear program... why? Possible infraction of the UN resolution he agreed to 11 years ago? Nope... My take: Jr. wants to push a bunch of servicemen into an area of the world, they're really not welcome to. Before he drops more bombs on Bagdadland to avenge his father's will, he must think like a Texas oil man. You see, it's important not to accidentally blow-up the entire MiddleEast. There's oil in them there dunes. One unburied nuclear device that takes a direct hit from our finely tuned arsenal could mean the end of life in the entire oil-rich region. Ah-ha! Good reason to get the UN taking immediate action ridding the proposed American target practice area of this type of catastrophe! Using the UN envoy to do recon. for us!!! Amazing... like having your servants move the fragile knick-knacks out of the living room before the wild xmas party. Well, now the UN is responsible for their work. Now, more than ever. (that phrase has never been used better.) If they determine Iraq is nuke free... np, US will bomb the crap out of them. If the UN didn't do their job properly. BOOM. Less oil for Curious George. Means to an end, I suppose. Safety first! and of course... I *do* like to drive my gas-gussling SUV. ;) peace- seanrox
