I believe it was always about ME transformation. This was only mentioned in one speech in the runup to the war, but has been touched upon in almost every speech in the last two months.

I believe it is to create a new image of the US to the Arab world, and I believe that the concept of the reformation of Iraq through its rebuilding might be the most liberal foreign policy move EVER.

That's "Lib-ruul" the way Bush Sr. used to use the word as an insult, BTW. As in the sentence "George W. Bush is very Lib-ruul". It is a very Lib-ruul foreign policy to use Billions upon Billions of Free Money to convince a society through Gifts that the US is a Good Giving Country and your Friend. I think getting rid of Saddam was the first Gift. I think the Lib-ruuls invented the idea. And now the Rs have stolen it easily because the Ds are frantically running away from it.

And I think it hasn't worked in the past because those countries have seen us, correctly, as an "indian giver" (to use a politically incorrect phrase). And I think it will work this time because we are giving so damn much that we will build the entire country and make it incredibly prosperous.
