But, as PTM just highlighted, the war in Iraq now runs completely contrary to your supposed goal of eliminating Islamic rule. It's taken a huge step backwards and has created a haven for terrorists and introduced MORE Islamic rule to the region than there was before. And yet, it was justified using the terrorism excuse. How? Well, we're back to the original point. War is peace. Once the American public latched onto that concept, justifying war was easy. And building of the same concept, that we must fight for peace, the administration actually enacted policies to covertly incite terrorism to give them an excuse to counter attack (
look, murder plans in handy Power Point format!). This preemptive stuff is total crap. It runs counter to everything that we're supposedly protecting. The ends do not justify the means.
