Not sure I buy the idea of 'Dubbya' wanting to prove himself to Dad. Looking into his past reveals that it would have been a first for him really. I think it was more about returning favours to his former Haliburton mates and ilk who helped him in office in the first place, its seem to me that Cheney, select advisors & co were the real brains behind the Bush Jr admin.
back then War meant big business to alot of very infulential U.S Companies and Institutions.
But now everyones too broke to be doing that.

I'll give you that Cheney was the Richelieu to Bush's Dauphin, but if you read accounts by those who actually were part of the Bush administration's conduct following 9/11 and the ramp up to the war, it is more than obvious Dubbya was an eager and willing participant; his adamant instance the intelligence and military must find a connection, however spurious, between the 9/11 attacks and Iraq speaks to an agenda beyond just being beholden to Cheney...
