If this stays in Community somehow (and it looks like a one-way First Class ticket to OMNI is soon on the cards from the trend of posts!) may I please remind folks here that this current mess has nothing to do with saving the USA i.e. "our" country.

CNN et al may not have appraised the US public of this very often but Australian and British troops are on the ground, and on the water, and in the air, and have been there for months, and are about to also engage. Australia will get no oil from this, nor $20 billion or whatever USA (un-successfully) offered Turkey to assist with access.

I personally oppose any invasion, but one will occur, and it will NOT just be Americans and Iraquis killing and being killed.

Yes, let us hope no FlyerTalker or their families are touched directly by this inevitable conflict.
