Perhaps it's the ASSUMPTION that's wrong

howard zinn in alternet...

The United States, in three years of war, which began with shock-and- awe bombardment and goes on with day-to-day violence and chaos, has been an utter failure in its claimed objective of bringing democracy and stability to Iraq. The Israeli invasion and bombing of Lebanon has not brought security to Israel; indeed it has increased the number of its enemies, whether in Hezbollah or Hamas or among Arabs who belong to neither of those groups.

here's a thought... is it possible that wars are fought to CREATE chaos, FOSTER new enemies, and DESTABILIZE national security...? after all, there's a lot of benefits that accrue to the folks who take countries to war...
