That's definitely an interesting article you linked to in your post, Wolfgang. I think, though, that to try to paraphrase it in any way is to do it a great injustice. I think, in order for a reader to have any understanding at all of what the author is saying, it is absolutely necessary to read the entire article very carefully.

Personally, I don't think that the author is necessarily advocating for the US to wage war unilaterally on Iraq, but, rather, if the US does wage war unilaterally on Iraq, the motivation should be something much more beneficial to the region than the motivations that have served the US in its past conduct there (while also making some points about how Arabs can approach solving some of the problems of the region).
