-Why Iraq? Not hard to figure. -The NEOCONS wanted to change the politics of the whole mid-east. They were, and we as a nation should have been, tired of all the Arab BS since 1948, and all the killings of Americans since 1978. -American military power was the means to gain more than their attention, it was the means to hand over to the worls a new mid-east. -This plan worked well, till we blew the post-invasion phase of teh plan, with CIA and State depending too much on teh influence of Iraqi expatriots to form a new Iraqi government that would provide the model for the coming decades in the mid-eaast. -Did it work? Yes! ---at least thru the invasion phase. Syria thought they were next, and immediately started backroom negotiations to show they were more ammenable to working with us. Iran? --as Armardiamasonofabitch told the world..Iraq stopped its nuclear operations in 2003. Hmmmm.... wonder why. Khadaffi rolled over the day after we took Baghdad. -But W's administration let it all slip away after the success of the invasion. As the old snore goes,...they snatched defeat from teh jaws of victory. And the uninttended consequences of their stupidity are now felt throughout the world and the homeland.
