The Bush Administration has put us on a road to hell, a road to hell that they have led us to believe is paved with good intentions. They’ve revved up their “good intentions” propaganda machine in preparation for Senator Kerry’s expected remarks on the Downing Street Memo. The whole world thought there were WMD’s. Saddam was a bad bad man. We’re fighting the terrorists over there. Democracy is spreading like flowers in May. America is removing the “freedom deficit”.
All of these, of course, miss the point. The only way any of these excuses leads to an invasion of Iraq is through the window of the Bush Doctrine and Pre-emptive War in order “to reform the politics of the Middle East”. Without the good intentioned doctrine of American Primacy, a true imperialist America, a Pax Americana (the exact opposite of John F. Kennedy’s vision), there could be no basis for the Iraq war. The only basis to strike a country that is not preparing an imminent attack is if you believe in your power to shape that country’s economic and political landscape, you believe in your own “expansive geopolitical purposes”.
