<The american military does not seek war for war sake, that would make monsters out of them.>

That is one of the big differences between the Iraqi and Vietnam wars. Both were wars of aggression, naked bullying of a weak nation by a strong one. But, in the Iraq war, the professional soldiers were never enthusiastic (and neither was the CIA, or the State Department). It is the civilians in the White House and Defense Department who have insisted on this war. In this Administration, the person with the most military experience (the Sec. of State) has been the least enthusiastic about the war. We were divided from the start, and remain divided. And you know what happens to a house divided, don't you?
