The more I think about it the more it seems our invasion of Iraq was a carefully planned out move to destablize the middle east and get them fighting each other so they don't worry about us.... Thats whats happening, maybe our leaders aren't as inept as we think.

It definitely wasn't done to protect the United States or find weapons of mass destruction. There was an ulterior motive, that's for sure.

You're a perfect example of a retarded liberal. Exactly what "puppet" regimes are you talking about? We support those regimes that are friendly to the west. We support those that aren't waging war or seeking the destruction of other countries. Back in the day of the USSR, we supported those countries that want to keep their freedom. In the real world, there are times you have to be pragmatic and deal with the lesser of two evils, but any president has to think of what's best for America. As for countries like China and India, it's been communism that has kept them in the dark. Only now that they are freeing their markets and adopting capitalism that their countries are starting to grow. Good Lord, it was the British controlled Hong Kong that became one of the most prosperous places on the planet. It was because they were free and adopted capitalism. Are you saying that Iran is better? Are you saying that we should help support those regimes that promote peace?

you question implies that you think the middle east was stable before iraq. the broader issue is will it be when the coalition does leave..no, there are great agendas here.
Wafta Sultan, a muslin gaining notice with sane ppl and death threats by the others states:
"The clash we are witnessing around the world is not a clash of religions, or a clash of civilizations. It is a clash between two opposites, between two eras. It is a clash between a mentality that belongs to the Middle Ages and another mentality that belongs to the 21st century. It is a clash between civilization and backwardness, between the civilized and the primitive, between barbarity and rationality. It is a clash between freedom and oppression, between democracy and dictatorship. It is a clash between human rights, on the one hand, and the violation of these rights, on other hand. It is a clash between those who treat women like beasts, and those who treat them like human beings. What we see today is not a clash of civilizations. Civilizations do not clash, but compete."
there will no stablization until all thinking men defeat these radicals.

Yes to control the oil.
Europeans started followed by the US.
The Middle East is not helping their own cause either.

"...to destablize the middle east and get them [muslims]fighting each other "
Ha, yes, this is the part I love about our war in Iraq; however, I wish we could've done it without sending our boys there to be maimed and murdered... Adela

well, if longhairfreaky agrees with you 100%, that means there is a major flaw in your argument.
The middle east has been unstable for centuries. We are trying to allow part of it to be stable with a gov't run by the people. Iran is unstable, syria is unstable, and they promote terrorism and the destruction of most nations on earth.
If we wanted to allow a destabilized region, we would have ignored it.

No way! Not an evil plan? LOL
yeah, that's what's scary is that bush had the ability to put plans into action.
And whats worse is people still trust him.

I agree with you 100% and always have thought that since before the war. EVERYONE who knew anything about the Middle East knew it wouldn't work. Including - one can only assume - the Pentagon and its planners. So what are they REALLY planning?

Yes. Iraq was the start, now we must move on to Iran and Syria.
