I would be flattered to be likened to bilmore, unless the comparison is coming from fringey. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

I just think that (now that the absolute crazies like uh marshmallow fluff and the tottery guy are gone) you all are kind of extreme in a scorched-earth, take-no-prisoners kind of way. Like DeLay and whoever his Democrat analog is. (I honest-to-god don't follow politics that much -- because it disturbs me -- and am aware of DeLay mainly because he is from TX and b/c of the redistricting stuff.)
And I agree with sitc re: people being willing to buy stuff from Iraq because would be afraid there'd be other people claiming it and could end up paying Iraq (or whatever entity in Iraq extracts the oil) and getting nothing, or having to incur huge legal expenses fighting over ownership or what-have-you. This would seem to me to probably have the effect of Iraq having to sell at a lower price (to compensate for probability of pain-in-the-ass factor and undependability). The debt/ownership stuff has to get settled or it's not going to work well.
