Det finns nästan bara civilister, inga militärer, bland hökarna. Och faran med att någon annan stat agerar om och när USA agerar i Irak:
”And there is always the matter of “second fronts.” Following the Gulf War, U.S. armed forces sought to prepare for the possibility of two simultaneous regional wars. After a while, the Pentagon quietly abandoned the idea as impractical and costly. But who can be sure that no potential U.S. enemies would strike when the United States appears bogged down in Iraq?”
