Great link, I enjoyed the piece and agree that the majority of the Amer public likes wars overseas and feels a sense of pride in attacking other countries. Many in the US think the purpose of invading Iraq was revenge for 9/11. I've even heard college professors say they hope the soldiers kill all the muslims. This is just emotional revenge seeking. Even intelligent Americans have bought this argument and feel the reason for the invasion was because of 9/11 and the only way we can show that we're not going to take it anymore. You cannot talk to these people. They will not ever believe that Saddam was not involved in 9/11 and they will never believe that he doesn't have massive WMDs hidden away. Of course, the real reason was partly revenge for 9/11, partly revenge for Bush Sr., but don't forget that the neocons had suggested this years ago and the real reason is to have additional Amer control over the middle east and their resources (mostly oil). Appeasing Israel is part of the deal too. Thanks for the link. Go Dems! ABB.
