There is a good chance that many of us couldnot be alive to consider the ramifications of the current conflict in Iraq. If not this year, sometime in the next 5, years, we will see another large scale attack. Don't live scared, but it is inevitable.
I would not have put it passed Isreal to have poisoned Arafat, got him out if the country quickly. I mean, You have Iran pissed and scared, and they HAVE nuclear weapons. I think you will see their use by the end of the decade there or in NK. War with NK or Iran is imminent , not avoidable. This is human nature.
Our legacy will be one of "the day that not ended, but changed the world...September 11th, 2001....". Life everywhere will never be the same.Were in the early years of WW3 right now. History books will show this as the " (insert year) war". 8, 12, 22 years, who knows. But I think the US can take over the world in less than 10.

i said cheapest - as in it would cost alot more to invade Iran and North Korea - by invading Iraq - the United States credibility towards these nations is reinforced possibly saving future conflict.
Iran isnt going to do anything with the US military next door - I think alot of military planners would love for Iran to make a move at the moment - the US has currently deployed around 150,000 troops whereas the US deployed 500,000 troops in 1991 and didnt even invade iraq.
North Korea - Fleet Response Plan - 7 carrier groups in the pacific

China - on the horizon
