Iraq was attacked on the false premise that it was responsible for 9/11. The neocon agenda which were prep'ed and ready to go in the event of an widely anticipated 9/11 event took full advantage of that terrorist attack to launch its "full spectrum war" on the world in the guise of the War On Terror, in order to extend the claws of its imperialistic ambitions in knocking down all other engines of growth in the world other than the U.S and dominating the economic levers of money and power with military might. Today, the world still bears the bleeding wounds of those ravenous claws in the form of skyrocketing oil and food prices. Funding for destabilization of Middle Eastern and Asian rivals to the Washington Consensus still flows strong even today. Also strong, is the U.S. support for terrorism.

What is most intriguing is how, the American people, in the face of a looming economic meltdown (brought on by their own failed military policies) can continue to spend what little is left of the goodwill of the world (the American economy after all is heavily in debt) and blindly and dumbly continue to sacrifice their future and the lives of their loved ones for the sake of Eretz Israel.
