DEAR EDITOR:

It’s really very simple; Iraqui’s Saddam, like many of his predecessors (ruling heads of state), found his expenses exceeding his income. Saddam was in hock up to his eyeballs, due to expenses of the foolish Iraqui-Iran war. So Saddam moves to shore up his income by annexing Kuwait with its lucrative oil income. A move not really much different than Russia’s move into Afghanistan, or China’s move into Tibet. With one exception – Tibet and Afghanistan do not have great oil reserves. Saddam should have learned from the Shah of Iran, you don’t cross the Big Oil Boys.
Now our president, George Bush, (his family fortune bound to the oil cartels) puts on a show that would garner the admiration of old P.T. Barnum. Bush builds up a large strawman through the U.N. and then hiding behind that strawman he professes we must use force – the U.N. mandates it.
If we Americans cannot see through that fraudulent facade of U.N. mandating, then we deserve the financial slavery and poverty that will surely follow an American involvement in a Middle East war.
