Perhaps the World we don't want

"...Department that this war has been in the works since July 2002. "

I think it all depends from who's perspective, no? If the Pentangon created a scenario on the invasion of Iraq, it does not cause me much problems, as their job is to create scenarios of wars... But if this scenario was created after an order which came from the white house, then yes, the opinion of people who said the war would happen no matter what were right.

My personal opinion is that they want to remodel the middle-east as well as having a strong military presence in the area...

I don't think Canada can do anything, it should be up to the UN to do something, i had some hope someone would present a resolution against this war, there is nothing, zilch... The UN , as most countries have not passed the test... The wolrd is an utter failure.

And if this war spreads throughout the middle-east, the worst part, contrary to World War II, it will not be a war good vs evil, but more like WWI, bad vs bad...

I was reading an article this morning that said just that; that GW Bush did say that he was going to take care of Saddam soon after he took office; he was advised to hold off for a year. I must start documenting my sources better. I do remember Rice was mentioned as being present. Will try to verify source
