India warned not to use pre-emptive measures

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Iraq should become the 51st state.

EDIT: On a serious note, just because we don't plan to physically TAKE any land, that doesn't mean we don't have "imperialist" ambitions there, whatever that may mean.

Our corporations DO have a vested interested in the place and its rebuilding........notto mention all the oil there.

It also doesn't help that we are taking a "unilateral" approach to the re-development of Iraq, rather than allowing the international community a role, like Tony Blair was hoping for.
