NOT TO TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY.
Yes, of course.

As far as I know, that guy was there for business stuff, something about a company he was doing stuff with. I didn't listen to the news very clearly, but I heard something like that. Correct me if I am wrong.

No, I'm sorry, that war is a taking over of the country, an invasion. Just look at how American companies are installing there to take profit of the reconstruction. Does USA want a muslim fundamentalist goverment to kick all their corporations away? No, they want a nice puppet democracy, that will give some kind of pseudo-legitimization to the war and help them mantain things going. And then they will say they did it for democracy and world peace. Yeah, right, like the Spanish conquistadores went to South America to "cristianize the little indians and save them from hell". Thats what they told people then. Of course, in pre-modernity, wars were done because "God is with us". Now it's "reason" who is with us. Well, thats nice, but I'm not believing their fairy tale.

I am not surprised there are so many people fighting the troops. No one wanted Saddam, so the first step was done. Then no one wants the troops, so they want them away too.

Seriously, if this war was for democracy, they could have done it anywhere.
