I love the Small-Colen wars and Iraq talk. All of the other lists have gotten very anal and are now filled with easily offended sorts who complain to the moderator secretly and try to get you expelled. BTW: here's my latest thought. If the Iraqis wanted to stop this war dead cold before it starts they could expand upon their scorched earth policy of 91 but instead of simply igniting the oil flow at the surface they could drill into the beds and drop a few thousands pounds of thermite ready to blow 10 different ways in each bed and dare anyone to attack! If they managed to ignite the beds well enough the self sustaining fire would eventually collapse the earth ceiling creating enormous lakes of fire and releasing billions of tons of smoke. The world would not see daylight again few thousand years! Clearly I should be a world leader. But I'm stuck on this list.
