But alas those that actually study history can find no evidence for this, or the 50 million others.

Re: The End of the End of Faith
Ungrateful bastards That invasion of Iraq went so well for the people there it is surprising that all are not sending us gifts all the time.

You really need to try a dose of what really is going on in the world. The US government is responsible for the growth of Islamic radicals. Prior to the invasion of Iraq we had just a couple small groups that we had to worry about. Now we have radicalized millions.

There was a huge difference between the scope and aims of Desert Storm and the invasion of Iraq. We actually had a reason to push Iraq out of Kuwait, but to say it would have been a walk in the park to conquer Iraq at that time is as naive as the assumption that the Iraq war would be easy.
but 12 years in the USMC proved to me otherwise.
Gives you no special insight into geopolitics or foreign policy moves of the US government.
You are hitting all the wingnut points. The evil U.N. Oh no.
