I still haven't figured out what Iraq is all about, but it wasn't 9-11 and
it has little or nothing to do with terrorism.


Maybe changing the Middle East, through military action when necessary,
is the essence of the war on terror.

In addition, I wouldn't underestimate the extent of Saddam's polarizing
influence on Arab public opinion at large. An extra 10 years of Saddam
in power, speaking to the Arab masses, are probably more
damaging in that sense than a 2 years occupation followed by the
establishment of a democratic regime.
