"Operation Iraqi Freedom". I'd call that good marketing.

Regarding the whole 'how come if we go after one country with WMD's we don't go after all of them' argument. You're saying it WOULD be better to be consistent and go after all of the countries violating various non-proliferation agreements they have signed? Somehow I doubt if the US takes a hardline stance with North Korea after this conflict that you will suddenly be happy one the grounds of being more consistent.

That there is not strict adherence to any one simple policy should surprise no one. Consider the $70 billion price tag assigned to this war and the tremendous political capital involved in waging it.

As far as "helping the Iraqi people". That's good marketing too. The simple fact that many [not all] Iraqi's see the coalition not targetting power plants and civilian areas and bringing humanitarian supplies has greatly reduced the resistance to coalition forces. All the dire predictions about a siege of Baghdad causing hundreds of thousands to flee Baghdad and thousands of coalition casualties has have not come true. Why?
