Which are?

There's a lot of ways of putting it. Washington seems to like the title "regime change".

And why was that?

I think it's fairly obvious that the US is pursuing a certain agenda towards the Middle East; and tossing aside whatever ideological slants I might have - there's really nothing unusual or neccesarily wrong with that.

The fact that there is an agenda does not mean that the war was started to implement that agenda but rather that the agenda was considered possible once the US went to war.

In any case, I think the agenda is terribly flawed.
