We're there now, if you ask the one's who've increased our presence there, through force, we're there to prevent wmds from falling into the hands of Islamic Terrorists (the worst kind, I guess?). But we were there long before our invasion of Iraq. The invasion of Iraq has to be part of a bigger plan. The future's scary, if we continue on this course, escalating and escalating, over years but now quickening, our presence in a part of the world so far away. It will backfire on us, I have no doubt. Who the hell are we to tell people on the other side of the globe what to think or believe or how to live? Bad idea, and bush has gone nuts with it. He thinks its his destiny to remake the world into a mirror image of some twisted view of what he thinks America is. Its insane. But it is the past I wonder about. What was our original reason for asserting ourselves so forcefully in that part of the world? What were our original "national interests" there?
