You surely also have a convincing theory, why the majority of the people
in _all_ free western countries are against a war at the time. 60% of the
US citizens as victims of "socialist" propaganda? Labour leader Blair pro
war, neogaullist Chirac against it? Hm.
Estimations of the US government say that a long war (>12 weeks) will
raise the oil price (risk that Iraqs oil industry is destroyed) and draw
the world economy into a recession. Hm.
