    I suppose they were, but I don 't think, my personal opinion on that, that the US will ever re- built Iraq or Afghanistan ! Not even far from it ! The US is already considering the possible negative power- balances in the region if either Iraq or Afghanistan is re- built ! The US is already countin' in the reflex of a re- built would have on its own future foreign policy. Come on, don 't be naive, what the US does is for its profit...all the rest is wishful thinking from our side of the water.

    Europe promised to re- built Yougoslavia, ' we ' never built a bridge ! Have you seen in what way we re- built Mostar- Bridge !? Shame, shame !!
