Why is Chris Matthews is beating the Wardrum? [View all]

He's frothing at the bit and ready to go to war with various groups... he's mentioned Sunnis, ICIS, Al Qaeda, and his guest lineup is right in sync, chanting the tired old theme that somehow, some way, the US is responsible for stopping all the troubles in the ME.

If this is coming from MSNBC -- I checked -- not Fauxnews, are we heading into another war?
