""To prevent a known war monger and terrorist from becoming an even greater threat to USA and ME interest"" _Which group and nation want and support this war the most and why. "" Group = Conservatives, Nation = USA...it is in our (USA) best interest to convince the ME that terrorism and barbaric behavior is no longer tolerable."" _Who may be the next "Preempt Strike" target after Iraq. "" Iran if they don't get their act together"" _What America herself, realistically, will gain or lose from the Iraq war and from the likely future moves as a result of the new US foreign policy(including the gains or losses in political, financial, human lives and diplomatic aspects and "the war against terror", etc.). And what the "Preempt Strike" target nations may gain or lose in the same aspects. "" USA gains respect of the Dark Side, the nasty guys, the baddies, the monsters of the planet, as well we eliminate the terrorist threat to our land."" the "pre-emptive strike target countries (only 1 so far)are now rid of a monster and can begin to live like normal human beings" _What the rest of the world may gain or lose from the Iraq war and other wars in the Middle East and may react under the new situation. Will the wars and occupation in the Middle East region lead to World war III or lead to a new cold war or other alternatives in the foreseeable future and why. "" the rest of the world will benefit from the removal of another confirmed monster and terrorist. we are not about to become a longtime occupier of Iraq or any other ME country, we simply need to eliminate the terrorist threat existing there and hopefully the ME will come to their senses and join the modern world in the 21st century"" _Who may become the main rivals this time if a world war starts or the new cold war unfolds (the old cold war was the Communist East bloc against the West bloc, as we know), and what would be the likely consequences. "" the main rivals have already stated their cause and methods....radical Islamists endeavor to destroy all Crusaders, Christians, Jews by any means necessary and preferably on our own soil...(paraphrased) consequences for them, if conseratives remain in power, is elimination and a quick journey to Allah and his virgins."" -How the war party may cope with the changing domestic and international situations. "" War party is a very poor phrase to use for a group of administrators trying to rid the world of the common threat of terrorism, we will cope and continue on down the road regardless of what the liberal leftys of the world think"" regards from Chuck
