    << The US has showed in the first Gulf War how to proceed in order to defeat Saddam, wouldn 't the US help out the entire Middle- East forces to drive him out !? It would , so why is that scenario never been tried !? Why is the US so eager to do it themselves, where is the snatch !?

    << Oh dear, the lovely peace- making- US ! Don 't treat the US as a narcistic element of worlds conscience ! The US goes in and goes only in when and not even sooner their interests are at stake ! Never heard that the Aussies or Canadians asked the US to bomb Iraq !

    << Killing him, Joe ! They never tried ! Bombing one nuclear reaction didn 't lift him out of the saddle !

    << Only in ways that suits US interest best ! You got the chance to snatch the bastard first time around, Swarthkoph or whatever his name was, was ordered back, because due to international conventions, the one nation which overthrows another its regime is due to support the nations people, the US left Saddam in charge in order to come a second time around if they needed another scapegoat.

    The US does the same ! For us or against us, remerber !? Europa swings at the arms of the US, ( run English puppy, run ) ! Fear ? Yes, no doubt about it ! Not of the US but fear that the next time there is a blast in the Balkan they wouldn 't come. Because Europa has no strong voice, I agree !

    << Not wrong Joe ! Not wrong ! I maybe have a different opinion but mindless I am not ! An anti- US memebot, neither ! Neither the US or Europa or one other country, nation or whatever will engage itself or its people in a mindless attempt to save Muslims, or other people without knowing there is a snatch for themselves in it ! Such an altruistic act on such a massive scale can 't be done ! Memes remerber ! If so, I have serious doubts in the general US mental- state. Or do you suggest that memes of propaganda, of misguideness or whatever lead the American people into any war/ peace making mission that there government orders them to !? Chapeau !

    << No it isn 't ! If the US drive Saddam out of power and sets up a democratic legislation than the definition of self- rule collapses ! In whatever way you ' help ' the Iraqi people, there is no democratic bias for what follows ! The self- rule of the people, if they want Saddam out or not is/ was not due to democratic elections, even those are set up after months ! The bias where you work upon is flawed ! The US sets out the rules, not very democratic isn 't it !?
