                             Who Is Behind the Invasion
                             Who Is Behind the Invasion? ?
                    It is an interesting question to ask why America invaded
               Iraq despite the clearly visible damage and negative impact that
               such an act would engender. Many strategists think that this in-

               names of PNAC, later to become the most influential

               people in the George W. Bush administration, were
               Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President
               Dick Cheney. Even if they had originally set out to cre-
