There are ALWAYS repercussions, max. No matter which road you take you don't escape them. I'll take my chances with the ones that now await us than what we would have faced had we traveled further down the road we were on. Iraq has a great deal of oil wealth, the most powerful country on earth on it's side instead of against it and the tyrant's grip has been broken. I like Iraq's chances a helluva lot better now than they were a month ago.

Diplomatic repercussions? Yeah, I'll bet there will be more than a few after the images from this morning are broadcast around the world. I haven't the slightest doubt that those who so recently opposed us will now find it useful to start mending fences.
