As this thread is about Burma and not Iraq, I will try and be brief on the Iraq stuff
If this was just about securing oil supplies, we would just have sent in businessmen in suits to cut deals, and give Saddam a hand is lifting sanctions. A lot less messier than military action. Maybe an invite for Saddam and co to visit Hollywood, the Super Bowl or Wimbledon. More flies are caught with honey than vinegar.
WMD's - Saddam did use them at Halabjah (Sorry forgot that was a CIA weapons test)
Saddam did his very best on making us think he had them, probably thinking we would not attack if he had them, being so afraid of Vietnam. No wonder people said he had them.
He most likely did have them, but the programs were subcontracted out to say Syria, who quietly scurried them away when everything kicked off.
On to Burma
Those Monks were given quite clear warnings not to get involved, so anything that happened to them, they brought it on themselves and I have no sympathy for them.
