The end of my anti-war March.
We may not know the real reason for the war for decades. It will become obscured in the fog of history. But I assume that the US will achieve its primary aim and fend off the euro, ensure a stable source of oil for itself, help to support Israel by providing a new and friendly neighbour, give US economy a shot in the arm with the contracts for rebuilding Iraq, and no doubt many other reasons that haven’t occurred to me.
I think that the ‘formal’ fighting (as it has been called) will be over within a couple of weeks, but the US will maintain a presence in the country for decades. And hopefully the situation won’t get any worse.
