What other forms of strategic importance could the middle east have besides oil!!? You think maybe biblical importance? - I don't know.

Anyway -

The U.S. is a two party system - Fyron your right other countries have multiple parties that can make a difference. The U.S. doesn't except to take votes away from the middle right or left. Jusk ask Perot, Nader, or T. Roosevelt. Unfortunately, unless we change the constitution it will be that way. The only time (i am going out on a limb here) that a third party broke through was Lincoln.

Both parties consistantly pole 40% of the voters so whoever believes that most voters aren't DEMS. or REPS. is wrong - even Mondale got 40% of the vote. It's the wishy washy 20% that's at stake. You can call them what you like.

Alright guys -

I'm a rube because I use the word ironic loosely and yes Fyron I'm intransigent.

So to get back to my original points:

Where are WMD that we knew they where there and how come we can't find them if we had proof of their existance?

Where's the proof that Al Qaeda and Saddam are linked?

Why are we nation building with my tax dollars when Shrub said he wouldn't do that?

Why was Iraq - especially in retrospect now that it's admitted that the U.S. knew NK had Nuclear Weapons - more important that NK?

What's the strategic importance of Iraq if it's not oil (or its antiquities)?

Why did we just make Iraq more dangerous by handing it to the Shiites?
