I think Bush has carefully chosen the ordering of the terrorism initiative so that we don't alienate nations that can be helpful before it is necessary. The Saudis, and Iran, are useful to us right now (for that matter, so is Syria). Iraq, in its current state, is of no value to us whatsoever, and I believe that is why they are the first to be targeted. The sad part is that there is fundamental truth to your statement, even in its inaccuracy and oversimplification. It is sadder yet that people allow themselves to say such things as clinically as you do above. If you want a glaring example of why US foreign policy is so flawed, and why we have become so universally disliked, no matter who is in office, read this man's statement. We think of nations in terms of their utility to us and behave accordingly. Al
