NoMo, Our friends the Russian are aiding Saddam with his nuclear aspirations!... Imagine that... :)
And somehow the Caspian Sea pipeline plays into all of this. As does US oil interests and our economic dependance on foreign oil. The jihad is about oil and economics, incidently, because we're "rich," yet the Third World has the resources - the oil, and many of them are living in caves. They are "poor".. Of course they trace the inequity back a thousand years or so, to the Crusades, which is how they justify killing Christians, and "infidels", ie non-"high" Moslems, today - I suppose.
It all becomes very complicated, doesn't it?... But we've got George Bush, an "oil man" and American "elitist" [imo] in the White House.... :)
