New Theories Needed

Okay, we all agree that the bad stuff happening in Iraq was more than predictable. It was likely, almost inevitable. Let us put the administrations stategists right in the middle of the bell curve, a very charitable marker if you look at the Civil War in Iraq as an unforseen result of invading a country populated by nuts of various flavors. Let's turn it over and look at it from another angle. What if instead of the war being the little magnet for extremists it was advertised as, it was meant to destabilize the region. Some would say that mobocracy would spring from this.

What other reasons? some possibilities...
1) The neo-cons are really Global Warming Extremists (Gorests if you will)weaning us off foreign oil.
2) We need a draft. Since the draft in WW2 is often advertised as a great unifier Bush wants to bring us together as a nation by putting a bunch of hyphenated Americans in the armed forces with the red necks and blacks.
3) Putin, who has been looked in the eye and judged virtuous, needs a foreign war of massive scale to get his people back in line. W needing the same, proposed another grand alliance. We split the mideast between us and everybody is happy.

Please list your reasons! I want to know what the deal is.
