I think we've made the right moves in the Middle East.
I think our goal is to change Muslim culture.
I think we emphasized and perhaps exagerated the immediate dangers of Iraq's WMDs because that was the only way to sell our policy.
I think we have not clearly publicized our real goal of radically changing the political culture of the entire Muslim world because that is unsaleable and would raise a firestorm of protest.
I think our policies of deception in this regard are justified. 911 gave us a window of opportunity, a chance to act boldly and we took it. The next blow might be hugely more damaging. We're doing everything possible to forestall it.
