Read up on the "Project for a New American Century". If you can find the full text, there is a great deal of information contained within that would give you a very different outlook. I strongly believe that the US will find a way to battle with Iran. Whether its BS excuses, a truely corrupt regime, etc. Whatever the circumstances, the US will be leading a war soon. Think of it in pure economic interest. Consider the top oil producing countries. Saudi Arabia, ally... Iraq, toppled... Kuwait, ally... Iran, threatened.
Our government recognizes that we, as a nation, have a great dependancy on oil. Granted, so does the rest of the world, but our 'think tanks' figure that if we can maintain our supply, which is much larger that the rest of the worlds', we can use the coming time to develop better ways of producing energy. Also, if we can control the oil supply, and then the new energy, we can maintain our super power status for another century.
The reason the document was requested and written, was that the government understands how difficult it is to be a superpower, and especially, how difficult it is to maintain that status, now that there is no USSR (Evil Empire) to look good against comparitively. So they needed to devise a plan to keep that power, hopefully as long as possible.
We'll invade Iraq, not for the right reasons: to free a people from oppression, overthrow a corrupt government out of the goodness of our hearts, or because the world is rallying behind a just cause. No. We'll invade Iran because its in our best interests economically, and it will help us to continue to be strong, in control, and ahead of the rest of the world.
