Yes I agree, it's part of the straussian ideological background of the neo-conservatives to want to bring democracy to undemocratic countries. I think it's clear that they always wanted to go into Iraq. There have been plenty of indications such as things Bush said in meetings after 9/11 and in private before he became President. Even if the U2 flight information in the article is incorrect, I still think that the US administration wanted to go into Iraq.
