I used to try to see things with the larger picture in mind, like the US had to go after Iraq to show the world and crazy leaders two hundred years out from now that the US won't take terror on their doorstep and will topple any gov't and country that may have been involved, but I have lost my resolve for such "realpolitik" reasoning. You can't go in and kill people with some longer term fuzzy reasoning behind it. It just breeds more hatred back at you in spades, especially when you try to sugarcoat it as bringing them your version of democracy.
