Below are some strategic and military implications of Bush's war in Iraq.
Recent diplomatic and political obligations:
Israel and Lebanon resulting from the Israeli/Lebanese War ("On the record, anyway," US supporting the Lebanese Army against Al-Qaeda Sunni orthodox Palestinian Islamists in Lebanon)
Security with worldwide implications:
Agreements with the Gulf states; keeping the gulf open for oil transport most notably
Al-Qaeda (CIA sponsored orthodox Islamists from all over the world brought/enticed to Afghanistan with money from the US and Saudi Arabia to fight the Soviets)
Security of local concern:
The Iran/Syria armaments connection to Iraq. Al-Qaeda.
Options:
US leaves the region and doesn't look back. The US and the modern economic western world creates a huge economic depression with up-side One World Government/New World Order derailed and an opportunity for new beginnings and downside various religious institutions intently working to seize radical control on most fronts.
US very possibly goes to war with Iran in the short term following Israeli initiated attacks against Iranian nuclear facilities. In that case, there is embroiled world war. Alternative to that are decades of US military action in the region.
Ghandi style passive resistance to any and all infringements of freedom.
