Nonsense. 2% milk is milk with 2% milk fat, not milk with 98% of the fat
removed.

This use of x% fat free is really absurd although it is used commonly in
advertisements for low fat products, or supposedly low fat products. You
could advertise whole milk as 96% fat free, obviously not a low fat
product.

Personally, I believe that 9/11 should have taught us the lesson that we
can't let these countries simmer endlessly in disillusionment without
doing something about it because people become susceptible to delusional
ideas and delusional actions. Iraq, in my view, is but the first of many
efforts, certainly not all military, to remake the very face of the
world as constitutional representative democracy.
