The Bush Administration had planned the big, regional war that might start with Afghanistan & Iraq, and that has two real aims:
[1] to secure oil, and
[2] to reconstruct the Arab world at gunpoint with compliant puppet regimes that are yet somehow "democratic."
This reconstruction will prove impossible. As we expected an increase in guerrilla warfare, or what will be called terrorism. Armed with modern weapons and technology, the fears have come true. But one thing is certain: the attempted reconstruction of the Middle East by a hated foreign imperial invader will bring it. And this is the danger that George W. Bush's wars have brought on the humanity.
They will not bring prosperity, but great insecurity.
