According to this New York Times article, Iraq seems to believe the rest of the world is on its side. Even if that is true, does he really think it makes a difference? We’re America; we can kick the rest of the world’s ass if we want to. If we really want to kill Saddam, we’ll first raze all of Europe if we have to. We’ll bomb Peru and invade Egypt if that’s what we need to do. Hell, we’ll turn the rest of the world into smoldering ruins before finally attacking Iraq if that’s what it takes. And they all know that, so, though they might talk big against us, when we get our war machine up and running they’ll get the hell out of the way. What country could be so suicidal as to actually oppose us? Other than Iraq, I mean.
How about CBS? Dan Rather’s been rather belligerent recently.
Read this and then filter any article posted from Iraq.

I once seriously researched this and the American army could actually beat the rest of the world at once in a conventional war. Our navy can certainly take every other navy combined, and our airforce could bomb one country after another into the stone age.
The only problem would be communist China, which I understand has a lot of nukes. I expect that we will have to sort this out with them using peace implements in the next 20-30 years. Possibly when they invade Siberia for the resources.
