.....then how does creating chaos in the region (as I understand your earlier post as to what Bush is up to) achieve that end.

you are correct. I don't understand what you are saying. (I don't mean that in an insulting way, I just think we are coming from two entirely different understandings of facts/motivations)

The neo-cons pushing the WH around are not noted for their geo-political prowess or their understanding of history. They are noted for being naive ideologues.

I believe that that are both incompetent and corrupt.
