"Our security situation will be worse if we go into Iraq since we would make ourselves a target for the hate of those younsters that grow up in Sadr-City and elsewhere now. The existance of the US-bases on our soil is dangerous enough if we see it from that point of view."

You make my point - Keep talking.

You're morally weak and as I correctly defined people like you - "impotent". If you just accept it and publicly called yourself a "Schlapschwanz" then so many people here would not have an issue with you. Trying to define strength through appeasement, paying ransom, pandering, and denying reality makes you exactly fit the bill I describe. Tell me, does this realization hurt?

"Schlappschwanz" is written with two p. No real criticism here, since my bad English is not better than your German. :-)

Just play a little virtual game with me: Imagine litte Red6 (now 14 years old) growing up in Sadr-City as part of a nice and decent muslim family. Then some bad guys in his neigbourhood have to be eliminated by the heroic USAF. Stupidly the JDAM GBU-31 does not hit bad bad Muqtada as-Sadr, but the family of little Red6. Regretfully his parents, the three little sisters, both brothers and his home are collateral damage. After all he is able to find some tissue samples to have a nice rememberance.

Now answer me the following question:

a) Will little Red6 join the heroic Army of new Iraq to fight bad bad Muqtada as-Sadr? Will he understand that the heroic USAF was justified in killing his family and in destroying his existance because of bad bad Muqtada as-Sadr?

b) Will he join bad bad Muqtada as-Sadr?

I do not know if such a limited character like you is able to understand that there are things on this planet that do not have a millitary solution, since this has nothing to do with impotence but with intelligence. To make it easier to understand for you: We also could say that you suffer from brain impotence. The bad news for you is that even Viagra (although it is a heroic American product) will not help in this case. :-(

All things have to be effective if they shall leave a profit. Sometimes it is just too expensive (no matter if we talk about money our lives) to push trough a certain policy against others at all means. I.e. I would prefer that Sudan is a free, prosperous and democratic country. But to sacrifice 25.000 German soldiers and 350 billion German Euros for it? No way. That is simply not worth the price. I will tell you a new German word for it (ask Michael if you do not understand): "Gueterabwaegung" with Umlaut: "Güterabwägung". You also could say pragmatism. That realisation does not hurt, it is simply logical.
