Adam Smith

I do agree with the author. I do but I would also add the idea of spreading democracy and uninstalling a dictatorship. I agree with his first point about oil becasue Iraq is the number two leader in oil production. If we could gain a good relationship with them by creating a democracy we could gain easier access to cheap oil. I think that his second topic about protecting Israel is true as well because we are currently trying to set up military bases in Iraq. Israel would have another western allie in the MIddle East to ease the tension between other nations and the Palestinians. His third idea I disagree with. I do not think that the US would enter Iraq only to prove our power. I think that we have already shown our power in our economy and there is no further need of it.
