Scott, Re: Why is The U.S. still aggressively ramping up in preparation for a big, expensive war in Iraq...?? Don't be fooled. The Empire is on the march. What you are actually witnessing is the redeployment of our military forces to our new Middle Eastern fort system. We are planning to occupy Iraq, and what we will do, in the name of preventing future dictatorships such as Saddam's, is to create a weak quisling government (along the lines of what has been done in Afghanistan) that will be spineless to resist the imposition of a huge new imperial garrison on Iraqi soil. Qatar will be the command and control center of the operation, but the bulk of our land based forces and logistical prowess will be permanently garrisoned in a series of forts in eastern Iraq, poised for the inevitable provocation that we will perpetrate as the Bushies bring Iran into the bullseye of territorial conquest. Remember, if you think of this as a combination of "The Grand Chessboard" and "Monopoly" you can easily cut through the propaganda and see how the chess pieces are inexorably moved in this cynical game of corporate/capitalist greed. Kim Jong Il has provided quite an amusing distraction. And a useful one to expose the utterly callous and hypocritical nature of America's grasping aggressions. But Bush always had in mind to roll up Iraq first, Iran next, then the Caspian Basin and never really get involved in engagement with the North Koreans. This NK brouhaha has been most inconvenient for Bush's scheme, which was to simply keep the Korean peninsula in a state of fear and un-ease in order to justify to the duped and infantile American public the notion that the public needs to pay for our garrison on the 37th Parallel. The cynicism of the Bushies know no bounds. While the North and South Koreans seek a rational and sensible rapprochement and peace, the Bushies push fear, terror and distrust. It's just as good for bidness in Korea as it is in the Homeland. I grow increasingly disgusted with a national leadership that sees creating fear and distrust as a proper way to create profits for its friends. This is totally totalitarian thinking and unworthy of a great nation like the U.S. -Ray
