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.

I agree. Some see something conspiratorial or sinister in what Bill Krystal or Paul Wolfowitz advocate, but what they're advocating is strong initiatives to spread peace and freedom into the darkest and most medieval corners of the world, for the benefit of the people's in those nations, but primarily for the security of the United States. I see nothing wrong with this, and endorse it.
