Re Iraq. What you don't seem to understand is that the USA was attacked and 3,000 Americans killed. After that attack our president said that we would wage war against terrorists and the nations that assist terrorists. In our view Iraq was such a nation so we conquered it.
We will conquer other nations too. But we will try to do again what we have always done to conquered nations. If we try to civilize them, and teach them the rule of law.
I am sorry Germany seems to be against us in this matter, but with or without Germany the USA will battle evil in this world even if we have to do it all by ourselves.

That`s the point... exactly.
We Euros supported you after 0911, without any
questions, and we still do.
But we differ on Iraq, because most ppl just
*cannot* see this link between 0911 & Iraq here.
Europe has been devastated twice in the 20th century,
and that`s still a trauma, deep in our souls.
After loosing millions of innocent ppl and having
sitting in air raid shelters in countless nights
during bomb raids, Euros doubt *every* reason
for a war, unless it`s obviously and clear.
And sorry, in our view, the reasons for this
war are more than doubtful.
In this discussion, it would be really helpful
if you don`t demand appreciation from *us* all
the time, but would try to do the same for us.
Happy Easter,
Hun
