It's next to Iran.

I think that's very close to the truth.

Iraq is to the USA what Afganistan was/is to Al-Queda .. our "base."

Fight 'em over their rather than at our house.
If you have to fight, it's always a good idea to be the one that picks the time and place.

Saddam was stupid enough to make Iraq available for ..er .. Regime Change.

If my memory serves me correct they got saddam a long, long time ago... so it does NOT cut the continuance of causing abuse of Iraqi people. England understands this... so why can't America. Is this because Bush's [insert 5 letter word beginning with p] was so powerful and mind-controlling?

Bush says he stands for Jesus who is about freedom... so why does h ...[text shortened]... e has just tripped out on his power so much, he has forgotten who ACTUALLY rules the globe....

Humor me -- who ACTUALLY rules the globe?

I can't speak for him, but I imagine he is talking about God.

What did you have problems with?

I, for one, didn't understand what you meant by "who ACTUALLY" runs the globe.

It just didn't make sense, that's all.
