    As for eggs & omlettes... *points to sig*

    The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

      Im contrasting a Huntington type analysis with one more focused on recent historical events. Nothing to do with you. If I wanted to "jerk your chain" Id go look up some more antisemitic patriarchs However its not something Im particularly interested in doing.

                    They were wrong, IMO, DD. The "realist" reasons were WMD + misbehaving dictator sitting on oil-rich country.

                    In other words, I didn't buy the "realist reasons" but I acknowledge that some realists were supporters of the war, not just "neocons."

                        The article you posted in that thread, DD, was (and remains) excellent. I agreed with it then, and agree with it even more vehemently now.

                        If the United States is, or soon will be, at war with Iraq, Americans should understand that a compelling strategic rationale is absent. This war would be one the Bush administration chose to fight but did not have to fight. Even if such a war goes well and has positive long-range consequences, it will still have been unnecessary. And if it goes badly—whether in the form of high U.S. casualties, significant civilian deaths, a heightened risk of terrorism, or increased hatred of the United States in the Arab and Islamic world—then its architects will have even more to answer for.
