What are the goals of this Administration?

If defeating terrorism could be achieved by cutting off the funds from the terrorist than why wasn't this used long ago, rather than war? If diplomacy is the best practice, than why did we not use such before Iraq in particular? My opinion is that both tactics were not used due to this administration's pre-planning to occupy Iraq, believing they could first threaten the military and later buy them out. The bribery approach will not be successful where the masses of the people live by principals and morals that don't exist in this country to a great degree. There is a problem in offering a country democracy and freedom, modeled on the United States who's majority population (minorities) cannot realize freedom in the year 2006. If Bush intended to sell human rights to the Iraqis, he should not have allowed those brave committed Black soldiers, who are in favor of "freedom and justice for all" to explain the rights not given Blacks in this country.
