Re: Mark Danner on the British Smoking-Gun Memo
We apparently agree for the reasons why the US went to war against Iraq - to get the Iraqi military out of Kuwait.
But why do you think the US and the UK decided to break the Gulf War ceasefire? I know you don't believe it has anything to do with terrorism or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. So I assume we are back to the tired old contentions that we wanted to help Haliburton?
In other words - let's assume President Bush lied in order to get political support to invade Iraq. Why did he want to invade Iraq? I know you believe Bush is stupid and dishonest - Is he also an evil imperialist?
