The one big problem with the basic premise of that article is that it is predicated on the assumption that Iraq has anything to do with a U.S. approach to foreign policy that is rooted in a post-9/11 world. I believe that is a totally flawed premise, and there are a number of facts that support me on this point.
I have said for a long time that 9/11 simply provided this administration the public support it needed to do something it had every intention of doing anyway.
I have said for a long time that 9/11 simply provided this administration the public support it needed to do something it had every intention of doing anyway. I know you have. And I couldn't agree less.
We'll probably never know, for sure, since there is really no way of knowing. Thus, it's unlikely we'll ever agree on the subject.
Doesn't mean we can't continue to argue the point, though...
