Repeating, the reason Bush wants to go to war is to divert attention from
his own failings and being attacked by his own media and public. If he can
divert America's hate away from himself all the better. Diverting
American's attention toward a terrorist or an evil dictator is very easy
propaganda. There are many more advantages to Bush in attacking Iraq, not
the least of which is the control of oil in the region.

The same does not apply to Australia's prime minister John Howard, who
thinks it is in Australias interest to do whatever USA is doing. The main
reason for that is for future trade opportunities. Blair is in the same
boat with Howard.

In summary, Bush's motivations are about popularity within his own country.
Howard's are about wealth. Either way, both are uncommendable.

There are far better solutions for Iraq than going in there and blowing it
and the government away. Many countries have removed evil governments
without some other country intervening by going to war with it.
