CNN Breaking News: Iraq!
voidmain:
Oil certainly is an important resource for the region and it is an important one, not just for the US but for most of the rest of the world. Unstability in the region can have serious effects, however I will continue to argue that it is not the major underlying reason for us (the US) to be concerned and for us to be building up forces there. I would certainly be happy to let some other countries go in and take care of the problem but I just don't see it happening any time soon. For instance, rewind about 12 years or slightly more. Saddam had by far the biggest and best military in the region. He invaded Kuwait and many speculate he wasn't about to stop there.
Imagine everyone sitting back and letting it happen, how far do you think he would have gone? Now he's nothing more than a pissed off dictator looking for revenge with who knows what sort of weapons going to who knows where. Without cooperating with the international community and accounting for WMD bad things will surely happen. None of this would be an issue if Iraq would cooperate and follow the agreements.

And it's not just George Bush willing to go to war. *I'm* willing to go to war. I was there in 90/91 and I am seriously considering going back in the military, possibly as early as next week. So I might get another free trip over there.

I was "there" in 93-99. For different reasons, though.
