>>It is to clean up the Islamic countries, one by one. Iraq is the most obvious target, but only the first.<<

That's the trouble. It's none of his, or our business to tell a country, Islamic or otherwise, that we don't like its government and want it replaced. So why not try the same stunt with China?

I notice that all those who favor this kind of war don't even look at its consequences--more terrorism around the world, and more extremist, fundamentalist influence on moderate Islamic governments that are generally supportive of the U.S. (like Egypt). These are the costly consequences of this stupid, irresponsible decision.

You talk about irrational governments that can't be deterred by sensible policies. Which ones are you talking about--the U.S.?
