My take on the War in Iraq is,it was a blue print or trial run for a conflict with the American citizens,notice some of the new tech that's coming out to help protect our soldiers against ambushes now while I think it's good that soldiers are protected,I also see the flip side,of how that technology can be used against us.
As well as the new Less Lethal weapons designed for Crowd Control.

Wow, you're sounding crazy there. Way off to boot. The people currently running the Iraq war, well most of them have been all along just the top has changed much, haven't been around to be using it as a blueprint for anything.
As for the people who started it, the neo-cons, their motivation and what they were using it for is well known. They were all hold overs from the cold war who never learned it was over and they thought they were going to transform the middle east into a thriving democracy with the US as their benevolent rescuers from tyrannical dictatorships, thus improving our standing in the world and proving our might. 9/11 proved it had to be done because everyone knows democracies don't produce terrorists *cough*McVeigh*Cough*. For some reason they had it through their heads that Iraq was the best place to start and that, after Iraq fell, the rest of the ME would topple as people rose up democracy would flower. To bad they didn't remember that, and no one reminded them that, during the cold war they were the same people who had a bad habit of overthrowing fledgling democracies while arming and propping up the same dictators we were supposed to be now saving the from, Saddam in particular.
There was no plans of using the fighting as a blueprint because there wasn't supposed to be an insurgency. The people were supposed to welcome us with candy, flowers and open arms.
