Just more examples of how complex the region is. This is a region that the vulcans will reform? They actually believe democracy can be imposed? IOW pre-emption is really just another form of colonialism. How much more dangerous could this president be? Iran is next for reform. God won't save us. Only the ballot can.

Firing missiles into crowds of civilians happens when the entire reason for being there is wrong - just like in Vietnam. If they are Iraqi civilians, then they must be the enemy? We had to burn the village to save it? Somebody please save us from becoming a colonial power in a region we don't even understand. The disaster is called pre-emption - advocated by the George Jr neocons. Some even want colonialism by voting for George Jr.
