It's politics, baby. Politics is a game some people play to WIN, not to render service to the public. There may be a certain crew in charge now who literally believe they are rendering service to Almighty God in launching a war in the Middle East, however, and if so, that is very dangerous. In any case, whatever way you look at it, they are playing to "win" (on their terms). That means most of us lose.
