Please forgive this extensive post (by a newbie, no less), but this article, Baghdad Year Zero: Pillaging Iraq in Pursuit of a Neocon Utopia, by Naomi Klein in this month's Harper's Magazine is simply exceptional. It answers so many question about the Bush administration's approach to Iraq that I felt compelled to risk admonishment by Kos et al. I've tried to edit down to a dozen cogent excerpts, but you really owe it to yourself to read the entire piece and spread the word among your undecided friends and co-workers.
We must make clear to the Germans that the wrong for which their fallen leaders are on trial is not that they lost the war, but that they started it. And we must not allow ourselves to be drawn into a trial of the causes of the war, for our position is that no grievances or policies will justify resort to aggressive war. It is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy.
--- Robert L. Jackson, Chief U.S. Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Tribunals
