It's no different than what I said above. If the other countries don't try to lessen the consequenses and minimize the standing up to Saddam, the war doesn't happen.

I'm sorry, I don't understand this paragraph.
Are you saying that the OFF was a 'major' cause of the war? Unless we're broadly expanding the use of the word 'major', then you're wrong. I understand that you're both saying that the OFF corruption was not a rationale to go to war. That's precisely why the Administration didn't use it, because believing that it was a 'major' factor in causing the war is BS.
Pure and simple.
As for quoting Dis, the main word I'm into is 'major'. I don't care if you guys think it was rationale, an indirect cause, etc. A 'major' cause/factor/reason etc. is all the same thing. It wasn't a major reason, and that's the bottom line.
Maybe explain your paragraph and we'll talk about it more.
