[...] First, the story is in the Washington Post. This makes the verity of the article's contents suspect. Especially so when one inspects previous articles by the same author. Baker, Scowcroft, and Swarzkopf have to be discounted on this issue; it was their collective failure during Bush 41 that brought us to this point. There are many reasons for obliterating Iraq. You've heard most of them. Here are a few more: 1. Because Bush(43) said we would. Rightly or wrongly said, we can't back down now. 2. By turning that area into a sea of glass, we serve notice on the rest of the world that they must do what we want or risk the consequences. 3. 10% of the world's proven oil reserves. 4. We may actually civilize Iraq. The country is a dictatorship, not a theocracy. It is easier to turn a dictatorship into a democracy than a secular state.
