We certainly agree that Bush has not done nearly the communications work that is required.

As for me personally, I think that Iraq is a beachhead to make America a powerful force in the Middle East, combined with Saddam flagrant refusal to disarm and the fact that he has twice been less than a year from having nukes without any Western intelligence agencies knowing is all the justification I need. I expect that there will be some terrorist attacks on US troops out of Iran and that will lead to some tactical retaliation. However, beyond that, I don't expect any large scale military action after Iraq but I do think there will be more than 100,000 troops in Iraq for roughly 5 years.
