The war hasn't ended for anybody. No matter what reasons we choose to believe about the US invasion of Iraq, the reasons for being there will rear their ugly heads soon enough. A chaotic Iraq is a far better hiding ground for terrorists than Iraq under Hussein ever was. Chaos will threaten the flow of oil. Chaos is good for certain monied interests, but for the most part chaos creates an undesirable investment climate. No matter how one looks at the problem, renewed war in Iraq brings all our reasons for being in Iraq in the first place back into focus.
