A great article detailing the move to a militarized foreign policy by the US.

This article details a lot of the ironies of Bushs policies. Especially interesting is the point that the US went to war with Iraq to supposedly help stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons, yet Pakistan has been selling nuclear secrets for decades – and the White House is suprisingly quiet. I’m obviously not proposing that the US should invade Pakistan, but doesn’t that fact, plus that Osama is likely hiding somewhere in that country, provide a much more compelling argument than the one used for Iraq? Oh, I remember now: a) they don’t have oil, and b) they didn’t try to kill his daddy.

And lastly, a nice catch-all article talking about the Iraqi conflict in general, but with some very interesting tidbits about the internal conflicts within the Bush Administration.
