Lyndon LaRouche has forcefully warned President George W. Bush
that if he plunges ahead into a war with Iraq, he will have squandered the last opportunity
to avert an even more grave military confrontation on the Korean Peninsula.
In combination, such an Iraq-Korea crisis would likely be catalogued, by future historians,

The Administration is all set to conquer Iraq, giving the UN Security Council a last chance for relevance by rejoining the war bandwagon. The honeymoon after the Great Wake-Up Call is old now, but Congress still seems intimidated by this brazen grab of executive authority. This after abandoning Afghanistan to foes of the Taliban, battling warlords. It may be secure enough for pipelines, but people were not liberated....
