I'm just curious what you guys think we would be doing if we never went into Iraq?

- What would we be doing if we didn't go into Iraq?
Well, we'd probably be focusing on "mopping up" in Afghanistan and probably taking the same amount of casualties.
Ditto *Points finger at cowami in agreement* I also think we'd be fighting North Korea and Iran, Then we would have moved on to another Mid-East Country(Not Iraq)cowami wrote:

Your economy would be a lot stronger i'd guess, so probably just making lots more money. Possibly some urban renewal, or focusing on renewable energy.
disclaimer - i know very little about what else America could do, so be nice, please.

With Bush being Mr. Dictator of the U.S., you guys would probably be banging some N-Korean heads by now.
Or you'd be searching for some nuclear stuff from Iran.

Well, Bush would have needed another figurehead. If not Iraq, then somewhere nearby.
Frankly, Iraq was a bad choice of somewhere to invade politically. If they wanted a quick and easy victory with a decent period of peacekeeping, another place like the Balkans woulda done it; cold, damp, and earthy instead of hot, dry, and dusty. Fits more with equipment designed to fight off a massed soviet push into Germany, frankly.

Yep *Points finger at David in agreement, who is pointing at cowami in agreement, which creates an uncomfortable silence* I also think we would be loathed by Europe for doing nothing about Iraq while he is threatening the region and the price of oil is $145usd a barrel causing a world wide energy crysis/economic downturn.David.Podedworny wrote:

it's nice to think that we'd be pounding the shit out of the janjaweed in the Sudan right now, but sadly there isn't much oil out there.
But there are diamonds. Blood diamonds.Reciprocity wrote:

diamonds are chump change compared to oil
We'd all be relaxing on the beach, drinking martini's and checking out the babes.
I know, we do that anyways, but we wouldn't have to worry about a plane flying over us with a payload.
