My question is why there is a need to start the same war 12 years after?
Why not to finish all 12 years ago?
So let's say that because the father did not had big balls enought , the son will finish it 12 years after.
If there is a need to this war or not , i just do not know.
And yes Irak is not Aghanistan .
Dont make sense to have let things running for 12 years.
Now ,unlike 12 years ago , a VERY BIG Pandora box is waiting to be open soon . And i do not see the americans subtle enought to deal with it.
Anyway , yes will be war in few days/weeks. At this point ,this is even not the big news.
Of - maybe- more implications is the riff US/Europe.
There is many good raisons , and many wrong raisons to Europe behaviour.
Europe wants to show US that there is not only them on earth , and tell ' go on your own , just say things as they are: YOU want to attack. Not the UN. So do not try to have a proxy.
The UN may explode ,and i think this is good news.
There is a need for a new structure , not as absurb as today .
Or if still the same structure , with another 'soul and mind'
There is also the very strong anti-american feeling. From top to bottom.
Bush is see as a kind of religious integriste gouverning for a part with the bible.
Around him are the same people than around Nixon and his father. With real facists as Lydon Larouche.
He is see more as a cowboy who just know how to use his guns , much less how to use his head.
There is all the commercial/trade problems that most americans do not know about, but very well know and disliked n Europe.
And , for Europe ,USA is a rogue state , because of the death penalty.
You cannot be a member of the europeen union if you have death penalty in the laws of you country.
I know you do not realise it , but it is a very heavy burden for the american image. And from head of states to people in the street there is a strong feeling about it in Europe.
Some may answer, here on this post , to Europe " mind your own mess' and it is exatly what Europe says to US right now.
Of cause there is also ,like in France , the fact that ,like it you do not have to think about your own s-h-i-t.
You gave a real facist a big % of voices , and 'to forget' you protest in the streets against US .
Anyway ,no matter if they are rigth or no , americans would be even more disliked in few weeks from today.
Not funny and - i am sure- hard to understand for anyone living in this country.
Only here we love them.
Still no answer if need to go to war or not , but if you make me the commandant ,it is not only Irak i would care about........
PS: because i need a llooong time to type i did not se posts after the Fex's one when giving my opinion
