Far be it from me to ever offer my opinion
, I think there is a strong possibility of going to war with Iraq. Ive heard statements of more than 150,000 troops will be called up by April. Not for certain on that, but it was stated. Im more fearful of the situation with Korea now.
I understand what your saying in the nuclear arms statement. In laymans terms, I guess it comes down to being the biggest dog in the fight, if it comes to that. I know its much more complicated than that but simply put that has to be pretty close to the reasoning. Obviously the more countries you have with nuclear capabilities, the greater the chance of nuclear war. We tend to see ourselves, or I should say its my opinion that policy makers see us, as the keepers of the peace if you will. The strongest always impose their will on others, may not be intentional, but it happens. We believe people shouldnt be oppressed or "invaded" so we go half way around the world to fight wars.
Dont get me wrong, I agree with everything, well almost, we have done so far. I think we need to be more aggressive and be proactive. Maybe thats what we are trying to do with North Korea and Irag. Not sure.
