These people who say that they need a salary cap (as in football or basketball) are the same people who have been unwilling to hire a commissioner, a person whose interests, (God forbid) would be for both the players and the owners, not just the owners...

Using a clandestine technology-procurement network never fully dismantled, Saddam continues to buy spare parts for T-72 tanks in China and Russia, antitank and air-defense missiles from Bulgaria, and may now be turning to West European firms for critical electronics for his air force. At the same time, he has pressed forward with Iraq's ballistic-missile research at newly built...
