These soldiers are trained to move out fast and often, but not since the 1991 Gulf War has the entire 3rd Infantry Division, to which Beets' company belongs, been ordered to deploy at one time. The 15,000 troops plus all manner of support personnel that make up the armored force are just some of the nearly 100,000 U.S. soldiers now moving out from across the country to join the 60,000 already in the gulf.

...traditional kind. Even Richard Perle, the Pentagon adviser who for years has argued for regime change in Iraq, recently denounced imperialist ambitions in an interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro. "It is quite simply impossible," said Perle, "to prove that the United States has behaved in an imperialist manner." Yet as Max Boot of the Council on Foreign Relations argues, "Nobody wants to acquire an empire, but we are acquiring one. The general idea that we have to undertake nation building in Iraq is now established." So it is in Afghanistan and Palestine; put those three nations together...
