As for the views:
Anybody still believe the invasion of Iraq was to introduce peace and democracy to the poor suppressed Iraqi’s ? Or WMD’s ?
Take a look at the oil prices. A destabilized Iraq on the verge of full civil war has shot the oil prices through the roof. Now who could have guessed ?

I have never believed it was to help the Iraqi's. Of course the US acted in it own interest. Why would you go to war to "help" the Iraqis?. It makes no Logical sense to waste your own resources in someone elses interest for no tangible benefit. You fight wars to oppose threats to your country, or for your own benefit, not for altruistic reasons.
