But Iraq (a secular state) is not the place to do it, and dropping 200k troops off in the middle east is not the way to do it.
This is a war that needs to be fought in policies, information, and diplomacy. Not naked military conquest.
Anyway this Iraq war is about whether the Dollar or the Euro will become the worldwide oil standard. The dollar has been there for decades and now that there's a viable alternative... it could be a real problem for the US economy. In '99 Iraq changed their oil for food program over to Euros, and we've been looking for a way to shut that down ever since. Actually I'm not that knowledgeable about this, and I'm just parroting some articles I've read recently. But it makes perfect sense to me.
On another note I'd like to point out that communism is not inherently militarily threatening to the US. Plenty of governments and people backed that threat.
