There is no point in pretending that the welfare of the Iraqis had anything to do with it, since both we and they know it isn't true.

I operate on the Axiom that every action in the world is done for selfish reasons. But I think you are being too cynical here.

I know, from reading the accounts since the 1991 war, that there was a lot of guilt built up in, among others, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz. They felt we should have gone to Baghdad in 91, and knew how badly the Iraqis were being treated. But it doesn't always work out the way we want it too.
