Iraq is the stepping stone to an agenda completely outside the media/public parameters.

Right now terror has a specific context:

Terror=Religious fanaticism exploited violently for political means

The war on terror must be a war on religious fanaticism if it is to be successful. Cleaning up terrorists after the fact is inefficient. One must stamp out terrorism at the root - and the root are the more barbaric mosques, cults and leaders that teach and preach fanaticism and justify terror.

The war on terror from the public's viewpoint are troops fighting insurgents, the British investigating bombers, etcetera. Bush has a larger vantage point and sees now that it is a religious war of sorts, even though he must play this aspect down for all its worth, because to say so aloud would merely inflame millions, nay, billions of adherents.

So the war on terror is a cover for a great reformation. A reformation being brought about by technology, capitalism and education.

It won't be quick.
It won't be easy.
It won't be bloodless.

It will be worthwhile.
