RE: The breakout from \"Will you fight for your country\".
Saw an intensely interesting Frontline-documentary yesterday called \"Rumsfelds War\", about the tug-of-war between Pentagon, the army, Defense Department and State Department about how best to go about invading iraq. Reaffirmed my distrust in politicians, but happily also my admiration for the american army.
Im still pretty sure the invasion was more a strategic choice than anything to do with Oil, but it largely seems to have been fuelled by Rumsfelds and Wolfowitz\' having \"unfinished business\" (i.e. ousting Saddam)from last time the US paid a visit to the Gulf. But I really feel bad for all those ol warhorses in the military having to take their orders from a guy who felt that 50 000 troops were more than enough to invade and stabilize Iraq.
