Entry: Intelligence Failure--Why America Can't Think Its Way Out of Iraq Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/intelligence_failure_why_america_cant_think_its_way_out_of_iraq#22493 Post contents: Dirk W. Sabin, empire-building has always been less a matter of demographics than of weapons and the willingness to use them.
