Its true that there are a lot of reasons for the war. And its correct that the pentagon truly holds the reigns in this country. Its simple though, force and violence is the one area that the United States has comparative advantage on the world stage.
I don't think any war can be put into a vacuum and have defined clear cut reasons. But I also think the same for economic and political systems, not any one model can be applied. And that is what we seem to be trying to do.
But honestly it is somewhat humorous to bring up Saddam. We supported some of his most brutal actions as a dictator until he was no longer useful to us.
