This is inevitable, unless the US maintains the occupation indefinitely. I think that is the US governmaents intent That was unclear. Do you think the intent is to have a group hostile to US interests come out on top, or to have a permanent occupation. I can make a case for either. The permanent occupation is a likely goal, because we are, after all, building 14 permanent bases including the "US Embassy", actually one huge base. This will give the US control of the oil. However a hostile government is also a plus, depending on how one defines US interests. If the interests are those of the average American, this is a bad thing. But if you're talking about corporate interests, then an enemy is great. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was looking like we could actually get a reduction in military spending, I think we were hoping for something called a "peace dividend". That, however, was a threat to the corporations that make their obscene profits from the war industries; that's what Eisenhower was referring to with his "military-industrial complex" speech. So, we needed another enemy. They tried using Gadaffi but even they couldn't blow him up into a real threat. Of course, we managed to blow Iran into a huge threat now, so perhaps we can just take Iraq and still have Iran as a boogyman. Yes, that's a good plan. Something that Republicans and Democrats can agree on, since they both feed off the GE-NBC-Etc corporate teat. Hmm, let's see, yes, combining large "defense" industries with the dominant media companies! What a great idea.
