Seems typical of the neocons. The rationalizations come into the action after the action takes place. Remember when democracy spread all over was supposed to mean no more wars? Now it seems to mean we become justified in attacking civilians in countries we don't like. The reasons change to meet the occasion. Of course that is generally how religion and culture have adapted throughout history, but I don't think it has ever before been so quick and so cold and calculated. That's why I call them Illuminati-wannabes. It's as though they read conspiracy theory books and said "Good idea!"
