Not intending to escalate into a major debate, I thought this link: (http://www.thomaspmbarnett.com/pnm/index.htm) might be useful to anyone who desires to understand at a significantly higher level what the heck is going on in the world from a more global/historical/strategic perspective by author Thomas Barnett.

I was lucky enough to borrow a DVD from a friend where Thomas Barnett was speaking on CSPAN presenting his information from the book "Pentagon's New Map"
The author may not have all the answers (or the ones you may like) but what he does have to say overall puts some real perspective on why The President took the action he took (correctly in my mind) in the Middle East.
[size="3"]I hope you find this enlightening and useful.
