Interesting take

1) "If the US does make the rules, the world will be a better place"

Point of Priviledge: The US government is in debt dominantly
because they have used their resources for external defence, only
remunerated in times of conflict. Yes the school yard bully
makes the rules, he also usually fails his classes. Perhaps Saddam's
report was an attempt at getting Washington to read past the fifth
grade level.

2) Vis a vis being able since 1998 to verify what they do and do not
have. Iraq has had chemical weapons for over 4 thousand years, the
fact is is that biologicals are too cheap to be valuable to economic warfare.

3) Every war is about who has the best "god" (see French), the US has
recently been Bobbittized, and is simply reasserting our manhood;
invading the near orient is kind of romantic.

Amen, cell.
The only problem I see in 1) is that the 'schoolyard bully' has taken over the school by 'overwhelming unassailable force' and has declared that grades mean nothing and the bully himself will decide who gets what for lunch.
On point 2), I would like to add: we are seeing the US use the guidance of Mammon in regard to economic warfare, both 'return on investment-wise', and 'psychological dividend-wise'.
3)? Romanticism usually leads to the nursery or the morgue. An act of some sort of zany God, no?
