This Blog Is Moving

Greetings. After this weekend, this Take Our Country Back Blog will be moving to the new web site. Too many conservatives are getting zapped by the intolerant dweebs of the Obama Goons and seeing that this editing platform is a free site, Blogger can do pretty much what it feels like doing. Hence, I now have a paid site and will be migrating the last 1400+ posts shortly.

So, one day, you just may click this page somewhere and it will show up as "private". It has been fun but the intolerant Czarbie Goon Squads are brain dead idiots. They can come play at the new site which I OWN outright.

Abstract

The least understood aspect of the ongoing war in Iraq is what caused America to invade the country in the first place. The Bush administration’s reasons for going to war are still subject to intense controversy. Popular explanations for the war, stressing America’s need for dominance or its desire for Iraq’s oil, are erroneous or secondary. This article argues that a careful reading of accounts of White House decision-making point to one overriding rationale: the war on terrorism. The single most important factor in the decision to go to war was the change in President Bush’s position towards Iraq after September 11. This convinced the administration that toppling Saddam Hussein was essential for three basic reasons: a military rationale of eliminating Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, based on the assumption that Saddam Hussein could pass his presumed WMD to terrorists; a psychological rationale of demonstrating American resolve and discrediting perceptions of American weakness; and most importantly an ideological rationale of transforming the political culture of the Middle East, beginning with a democratic regime in Baghdad to serve as a model for other Arab countries and Iran. The specific nature of these factors reinforces the uniqueness of the Iraq war. It is highly unlikely that the US will undertake similar action against other foes such as Iran, North Korea or Syria in the foreseeable future.

I have read this article and it is well written with good credentials and sources.
