Do you know that most people here in Europe say exactly the same about you? Fact is that Germany and France recieve most of their oil from Russia and not from Iraq, Iran or somewhere else in the ME. Furthermore we have no obligation to support you in offensive wars. NATO is restricted to defensive operations. Therefore is the war in Iraq your very own party and for sure none of our business. Most Europeans are convinced that the conquering of oilfields for Halliburton was the reason for this war. Nobody and I mean really nobody ever believed into Saddam's WMDs in Europe. Maybe you can understand now that most Europeans saw absolutely no reason to support America in this operation if you rethink the European impression of your motives.
I have to admit that some of our politicians would have better kept their mouths shut. Chirac and Schroeder were a pain in the a**. It is for sure not in the interest of us Europeans that America is going to loose this war like Vietnam. Therefore European conservatives like me support more troop deployments in Afghanistan to give your troops the possibility that you can concentrate your power in Iraq. Furthermore personally I do not share the view of most of my compatriots (although I understand then) and I think that the elimination of Saddam Hussein was worth a war with many lost lives. Nevertheless I do not believe into significant amounts of Iraqi WMDs either.
The thing is that we are much more independent from America than we were until 1990. Today Germany is free to make decisions in its own interest. That was not always the case.
