Mind sizes aside, there will be at least two American military instalations in Iraq after our troops officially pull out. We are in Iraq in order to strike fear. Remember "shock and awe"? It's pretty obvious. When we go after another "terrorist state" (based on lies), you will still be saying that we are there for legitimate reasons. Is there any line that America will cross that makes you question their motives?

We would have gotten in serious trouble, really? by who? the UN coalition that was actually working with us? If we overthrew saddam in '91 we wouldn't have been in trouble by anyone, in fact, we probably would have had more help during the occupation.
How do you know there will be at least 2 military installations. Are you privy to such info?
As long as it is a tyrannical state, with the potential to work with terrorists then there is no line crossed. Of course there is a line that could cause me to question the govt's motives, but we have not come to it, and I don't expect us to.
