A lot of analysts would argue that this is just part of a process of Globalisation, moving towards a one world government, a New World Order, removing the regimes of non-western problem nations along the way in order to gain control of them & their resources, under the elusion of establising global democracy, in the form of an unelected global government.
Very possibly.
Could you imagine if a neanderthal like George Bush was in charge of the one-world government ?
On second thoughts it probably wouldn't appeal to him because he would have nobody to go to war with.
