[the ikara cult]

for me, if the money has to go somewhere it has to go to the rebels.

The thing about Iraq is Saddam should have been removed in the first Gulf war, and there had to be a no fly zone over Northern Iraq for a decade when he wasnt. Then there were the sanctions which were unavoidable as long as he stayed in power. You just dont want that situation happening again, because then a war might be started 10 years from now to remove Gadaffi, and nobody likes how that turned out before.
