Giving Neo-Cons Credit

For a moment, let us enter the two dimensional world of the PNAC and the Bush administration and assume America has a divine right to impose her will on the rest of the world and turn rogue states away from their evil ways, fly the American flag, and turn them into stable democratic societies (leaving messy details like centuries of tribal tensions and rivalries out of the picture).

Why would we as good neo-cons committed to Homeland Security and "fighting 'em there - so we won't have to fight 'em over here" select Iraq as the country most likely to bring a mushroom cloud to our shores?

Doesn't North Korea have a couple of "Nucular" weapons? Don't we have solid evidence of Iranian involvement in terrorist acts? Isn't Iran openly and actively pursuing a nuclear enrichment program? Is Pakistan a stable nuclear power? Are all of the nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union accounted for? Where is bin Laden? Is China quietly biding its time while we trip over our own feet?

Why didn't our leaders ask these questions before we rushed into a war with no plan to maintain the peace? We are over-extended. God help us if we need to fight a third war!
