- Go to WHEN DID IRAQ BECOME A WAY FOR AMERICA TO SHOW OFF?
It has gotten to the point, kooka, that the conservatives are believing
their own propaganda: we're fighting terrorism in Iraq, we fight over there so they won't come over here, it's not an insurgency (civil war, rebellion, whatever), we have to protect Iraq's fledgling democracy, a pullout will cause a Middle East domino effect, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. I believe that Bush and the Bobbleheads have come to realize that pulling out now gives Iran a huge advantage in influence in the region (they're Shiite, just like most of Iraq). I also believe that even though his democracy export isn't working as planned, as long as our troops are there, Iraq can be a bulwark against a truly dangerous Iran. They don't want to say it outright, still hedging the diplomatic angle, but I think that's where the focus is now. Iraq has become a convenient (if a bit of a nuisance) staging area for a showdown or war with Iran, which is an actuall threat, which Iraq never really was...
