thats scary... if not for Cheney and Rumsfeld's obsession with Iraq, it would still be much like it was... take that however you like it... when Russia's communists fell in the 1990's a new "enemy" was needed... Cheney and Rummy have been plotting global american dominance together since Nixon was running the office makes you have to wonder bout the recent "last ditch" US troop buildup initiated by GB's republicans in Iraq frankly I'm feeling very sick of war, particularly of the pre-emptive variety... just when you though muslim/western tensions were maybe on the decline (besides in Iraq, where its "personal") that'd be just the spark to set things blazin again... such a typical neo-conservative strategy
