A perpetual civil war might not be such a bad thing for American security.
Continuous internal conflict makes them very little threat to other
nations.


But, you've said in the past that Iraq was not a threat, and that Bush's
original list of reasons was just a polite disguise for the only real
reason: A military presence to protect the oil supply.

As far as a threat to security, you know that's ridiculous. There are steps
we should've taken 30 years ago in terms of increased vigilance - the same
types of things the Israelis have been doing for years. Iraq didn't keep us
from doing those things (increase airport security, for instance).
