I see the reality too. I see Bush using this exact kind of double speak, war is peace, to justify expanding this war well beyond the confines of the enemy we face. It's a clear as it gets to me. We, justifiably, go after Bin Laden, his organization, and the regime that directly supported him. Bush goes around equating war with peace, and voila, suddenly we're justified in attacking Iraq. It frightens me. And then you start reading the stuff Rummy said about purposely inciting terrorist acts to ferret them out, and then using that as justification for attacking the nations that were harboring them. All in the name of peace.
