Click on the URL below to read a series of articles about this on The Reckonings website: The Editor of the site states that four of the articles there "offer together the most thourough and penetrating understanding of both the underlying policy context and the specific rationale for America's planned war upon the Iraq" Included also is "an astute analysis of the Bush administration's motives and the key importantace of controlling Persian Gulf oil in those calculations." There are about fifty pages of material but they are worth reading. http://www.reckonings.net/stanley_hoffman.htm   Cynique Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

Overtones of Armageddon really do loom over the new millennium. It's chilling.
