"The real problem here is that America is now in longer term 'decline', much the way the UK went before it. The torch has been passed and imo the Bush crowd played right into OBL's hands by squandering billions on weaponry, much of which will become redundant the more that adversaries gain nukes. OBL's real strategy was to defacto 'bankrupt' America economically by enticing Bushco to take the bait and Spend with a capital S militarilty. In effect, OBL played Bush for an over his head cowboy sucker who couldn't resist the macho thing and he was right." Bush/Cheney and the rest of the neo-cons in the administration have wanted to invade Iraq and Iran all along and to pursue a resumption of the arms buildup of the 80's to preempt the United States from being overtaken by a new military power. It's been their position that there was a window of opportunity after the First Gulf War and the fall of the Soviet empire. In succession, the United States has taken down the two largest militaries allied with the old Soviet Union, Serbia and Iraq. en.wikipedia.org
