Who are these no-ones that you're referring to?
Fact: the United States wants to make a large investment in the Middle
East and India, especially with regards to technology infrastructure.
Fact: after a war, Iraq will most likely receive monies to help them
recover. A portion of those monies will likely come from the United
States for "food and shelter and infrastructure" -- under the guise that
we destroyed a lot of it during the war bombings.
This whole war business (and it is certainly a business) is all about
justifying US defense spending along with giving us a means of funneling
money into Middle Eastern, Indian, and very soon, Northern African
countries to build up infrastructure.
I'm betting within the next 3 years we'll probably have a similar war in
Northern Africa. Just take a globe and hold a string up to it from
India looping down through the Middle East up to England. See where the
war path takes you. If war doesn't suit you, don't live anywhere in its
path.
