You certainly won't get an argument from me here! I'll also add that the Iraq War was partly motivated by Neocon pique. They were furious with Bush 41 for not continuing on to Baghdad as part of Desert Storm. The Wolfowitz/Libby paper was written just after that and, I believe, was in part a response to it.
