Respectfully, I don't agree.
1) Oil is a major component of the war. IF we lift sanctions, and Saddam remains in power, then Saddam will use the ENORMOUS purchasing power that oil revenues generate for desctructive ends.
However, to pretend that the US will benefit grandly from "seizing control" of Iraq's oil is silly.
2) I don't think leaving Saddam to rape, torture and gas Iraqis is the "compassionate" thing to do.
3) The fact that Canada will act only if Syria, Guinea and Angola give us teh go ahead is nothing to make us proud.
4) Saddam is not a threat to world peace, but he is a threat to the US.
