and to act in our best interests as he sees them. It is not unreasonable or naive to believe that legacy is important to powerful men. To think that Bush and his administration are driven only by profit and revenge is small minded and ridiculous. Right or wrong Bush is less cynical than you are.

If we go to war with Iraq, it will be because the nation supports the war. The Bush motives are subject to that support, whatever they are.

Do you truly believe that the parade of ex-military, current military, along with liberal and conservative congressmen are driven only by greed and revenge. Can you possibly deny that a large majority support elimination of Sadaam's regime.

I imagine you would argue that the supporters are stupid and/or jingoistic. That doesn't fly.
