<DIV id=RTEContent>No, just admit to yourselves if there were no war in Iraq,
America would be fighting a roughly equivalent war somewhere else. America
hasn't reached the stage Europe has. Europe goes back 1,000 years, America
about 230. It could be you Down Under guys will become more warlike soon. You
