I didn’t back in 2003 when I was in the anti-war minority. But seeing how many of those same people just became democrats in the last 20 years, and are now talking about how we need to stay in Afghanistan or intervene in Ukraine, I was wrong. We never got any oil from Iraq because it was never about the oil. It was about remaking the world in America’s image. We were in Iraq for the same reason ISIS was in Syria. We are trying to establish our version of the Caliphate, except with liberal democracy and capitalism instead of Islam.
