I hope they accomplish their plan too, but I think this article is tauting the lastest conspiracy theory (one without basis).

I don't think it's a "conspiracy theory". And I don't think they mean, that we attack each Middle East country, but a free Iraq and help from the US may well "facilitate" regime changes in the other ME countries, and start them on a path towards democracy.

We are also sending a powerful message, that the countries who are plotting against us should FEAR us, because we will defend ourselves, whatever it takes and take the battle to them.

Even Bin Laden, in that private tape, said something about how everyone respects a "strong horse", but nobody respects a "weak horse".

Being firm, fair and strong is what will wind the "hearts and minds" of the Arabs and Muslims, not projecting a weakling image, we projected under Clinton.
