India warned not to use pre-emptive measures

[Abcdxxxx]

At least India can say they've been attacked ... in fact, I'd say hitting their Parliment is an act of war right?

Italian's on to something - nearly every UN nation has stuck it's hands in Iraq's pockets or had some sketchy double dealings. The amount of kickbacks, and other assorted under the table deals involved with the sanctions is frightening. You better believe that just as sanctions against Iraq became a business all unto itself (helping Palestinian refugees arm their "resistance" or um I mean buy shoes and eat dinner, is another one) the rebuild isn't going to be a US project alone. Remember, just because Saddam goes away doesn't mean the books are wiped clear..... the depts do not go away. One example of this is Israel.... while the US provides plenty of aid to them, they're still paying off enormous amounts of debt from various wars. As I understand it, Saddam owed Russia a lot of money, and they're going to get compensated, as are a lot of other nations that publicly will not take part in any rebuild. Just one more thing to consider here.
