At least we won't be involved.

I suppose that means Australia and Bali won't get attacked any more either.

Remember Bali was targetted because the bombers thought they would be getting americans...I heard he was very annoyed once he heard that he had killed more australians than americans :D

Yes Saddam should be removed...but what is america going to do once he is? Stay in the country which will create hatred amoungst the people which do not like the american presence? Place a western puppet on the throne which the people will rebel against? These are but two problems they are having with Afghanistan right now.

That is simply not true. The Indonesian Muslim group responsible were local and knew very well whom they were attacking. I've been to Bali. Australians are everywhere, especially Kuta where the attack was. The next largest group are Germans. Americans are way down the list.

Additionally they recruited a British fellow to plant bombs in Canberra.

If you say so...however I did read an article which talked about the ringleader saying he meant to hit americans during his interrogation.

No - the Inspectors found artillery shell casings with traces of mustard gas - and they found them exactly where they left them when the former inspectors left. Which means that Iraq is in complience with the 1991 peace agrrement, because they aren't allowed to move them or destroy them without inspectors present to verify the destruction.

And I'll agree with johnny. This is about SH - not WoMD.

So, your opinion is that this about Sh, what proof other than your own publicly stated dislike for GWB do you have of this?</font>

Thank you - I tend to wind down on the partying during Xmas & New Year. I guess it's only funny if you have a chain of stores selling ties that are called 'Tie Rack' in your country.

In fact this joke doesn't work in the UK (where we have such a chain) because we pronounce Iraq differently to you. The 'I' doesn't rhyme with eye, but rhymes with 'bee'.

:D
