Re: As an American, I am confused....
Hello Proud American, I see you are addressing to me.
We can both yap about equalizings and all kinds of political tricks for a log long long time. It is like discussing who was the first an egg or a chicken.
I never said my country policies were perfect. But I have seen Iraqi adults and children dying in hospitals of Baghdad because USA's and British friendly airplanes tend to drop missiles now and then patrolling no-fly zones above Iraq.
I have seen people dying because they did not get proper medicines due to 10 years of sanctions.
Oil for Food programm - "big favour" from UNO is a joke, I have been through all the stages of fulfillment of the contracts supplying essential products to Iraq. That system makes it impossible for Iraq to function normally.
Now you tell me what does it have to do with safety of the USA nation?
Why do Iraqi civilians have to suffer if your only problem is Saddam?
What difference would it make for them to die from Saddams' or Bush's hands? The first option is at least something they voted for by mistake.
THEY DON'T WANT THE WAR!!! Ask them yourself.
Thanks for invitation to come to your country though.
MAKE LOVE NOT WAR!!!
