This specifically is what concerns me
"If the resolution is defeated, Bush and Blair have said they would be prepared to go to war anyway with a coalition of willing nations. But U.N. support would give the war international legitimacy and guarantee that members of the organization share the costs of rebuilding Iraq."
So as our country sits on a steady financial decline, we may be picking up a new multi-billion dollar deficit on top of having to fund troops in a hostile environment while we continue to have the entire world watch us under a magnifying glass.
Kinda unsettling if you ask me.
As has been said many, many times, we would use the natural resources that Iraq already has to rebuild them with. Iraq is very wealthy oil country. that money is what will be used to rebuild.
I hate when people post info before they know everything!
