reynard52 last night and she made an interesting point: Bush's war is about many things: Enriching himself and his campaign contributors, building an American Empire, establishing another foothold in the Middle-East, consolidating the power of the religious/corporate consortium which has hijacked the Republican party, and perhaps most importantly (because it enables all of the above) distracting everyone from his domestic agenda.
