Yes, there's a lot here and I don't claim to be an expert on it all, but after Iraq, whenever there's a claim that we must rush off to war for some reason and there's no time to think about it or investigate, I become very deeply suspicious. I remember originally dismissing the idea that we would go to war with Iraq very early on because it was the "stupidest possible thing we could do." Live and learn? I picked that article because it gives a good summary, but you're right that it's necessary to pick these things apart in detail.
