Nice analysis. I agree with you completely! This needs to be shouted from the rooftops!!! ---> "The American military machine is not an instrument for social work, nor for remaking the world. It is, rather, the primary means by which Americans protect themselves from external violent threats. The U.S. goal cannot be a free Iraq, but an Iraq that does not endanger Americans."
