What utter rubbish.

I'm going to go look for an article I read (Where??) that seemed to explain the bush administration's fixation on Iraq; it was a dispassionate explanation of why they felt it imperative to invade as soon as they felt the American people would stand for it. It had to do with the world as they perceive it and the developments they think would occur if the region had been left intact.

It could almost make one a believer in its necessity, when you buy into the premise that every country must inevitably pursue its self interest.
