1) i never said that YOU are nuking the country. never judge a population by it's government. but hey, i've been watching the news all the time, and i've seen countless bombs and missiles detonating right in the middle of baghdad. a little too many for solely striking military structures (how many military buildings can a single city have ???). the bombardment continued for quite some time. that's what i call nuking a country !!!
2) i don't like calculations if it's about casualties of war.
it doesn't matter how many more would have been killed if saddam was still in charge. enough people have been killed by the us forces, which is exactly why american soldiers are not very popular in iraq at the moment. you cannot make war on someone and then expect them to be grateful.
3) now here goes the typical world police syndrome. now you wanna go after north korea, too ??? if your government continues like that they'll be soon fighting wars all over the world. i really appreciate that you want to change the world for the better, but invasion is not a solution. you can't establish peace by making war.
"The U.S. will not tolerate countries who have something to hide or pretend as if they do." don't you think the us gov has things to hide, too ?! man, every nation does ! and who are you to tell whether it's tolerable or not ?
4) of course your troops have helped ending world war II, and i'm very grateful for that. but how often has your goverment fucked up (like every government in the world, by the way)?
how often have they placed a dictator into a country in order to maintain control ?! in romania it was the same: the CIA supported Ceaucescu in order to have a satellite state close to the russians. and when the situation escalated, they triggered the revolt which cost thousands of lifes. i know because i was there when it happened.
from whom did saddam get his weapons in the first place ? from the us gov. so he could fight the iranians. so first thy give weapons to a known maniac, and then they disarm him by force. and who must suffer and pay with their lifes ? young american soldiers and the the country's population. now ain't that sick and twisted ?!
5) "The U.S. has used the most modern technology as best as possible to try and prevent civilian deaths." ask the countless crippled children about the accuracy of those overly sophisticated weapons. i'm sure they'll tell you something different.
6) "I thought this was your most revealing comment. Here you openly admit Saddam ruled through poverty and suppression. I'm sad to hear your familiarity with these conditions. Now don't you think my friend that others shouldn't be forced to live like this? I hope so. " of course i don't wish for anyone to experience what i experienced, but as bad as it was in romania, i sure wouldn't have wished to be liberated at that cost. war is not an answer my friend. it's not even a last resort. it is no option at all. peace can only be achieved peacefully. violence triggers hate triggers violence.
that's a very simple principle. and that's exactly what we all can see right now with every single american soldier being killed by a car-bomb.
i just don't understand why you take this so personally ?! i'm not charging you or any of your fellow citizens. i like americans. i like your lifestyle, your generally positive attitude for life and much more (especially the girls

). but don't you think you should be a little bit more critical concerning your government, especially in times of war ? hell, i am definitlely critical concerning german politics. i know there's a lot of shit going on in my country, and i don't like it. and if my experiences told me one thing, then it's that people who gain power are easily corrupted. and your government is the most powerful in the world. keep that in mind !
