re: #74 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I believed that Bush was erring on the side of caution by invading Iraq when he was just erring on the side of fascism…

My hypothesis about the Iraq invasion:

For Cheney, it was about oil.

For Wolfewisc, Feith & the rest of the PNAC crowd, it was about redrawing the map of the Middle East more to their liking.

For Rumsfeld, it was about field-testing his ideas for a privatized military.

For Rove, it was about a campaign theme for the ‘02 midterms.

For Evangelicals, it was about punishing Babylon for something that happened 2500 years ago.

For Bush, it was about dragging the whole world into his personal Oedipal issues.
