<What I think were the real reasons for the invasion could not possibly be articulated in public. I believe them to be more or less as I describe them. They are based primarily on the need to be able to prevent cataclysmic terrorism from ever again taking place on US soil, and the need to secure oil. Everything else is BS.> Invading Iraq did nothing to improve our situation and created just the kind of chaos in which terrorists thrive. As for the second reason -- this is logical insofar as we are an oil-based economy and seem unable to bring ourselves to implement an energy policy that does anything meaningful to scale back oil consumption at home or in markets like China where we are exporting our energy consumption patterns.
