Iraqi civilians and American military deaths are the result of Misguided Bush Policy, compounded by the appeasing/isolationist Chamberlainesque dems and the spineless Euros who take cover and benefit from American and, once, UK balls.

You started talking about AQ. You then brought this up. You then talked about having 911s in Iran. This is why I thought you were justifying Bush's illegal invasion of Iraq with 911.

Then you say this:

As the US struggled to bring some semblance of a state to Iraq ( after toppling a mass murderer--not a good thing, geo? ) Europe sat and sits idly by when they could have participated significantly in halting the civil war---before it started-- that has blossomed into one hell of a cancer.

Why in the world would Europeans, who did not support the illegal invasion of Iraq for no good reason, want to bail Bush out? Why would they want to send in their people when it was clear that Bush had not even bothered to send enough US troops in? Why? Why would anyone want to back up the Bushies when they roundly and publicly insulted OLD EUROPE and made a mockery of maturity by renaming french fries freedom fries?

When the Bushies act like two year olds, would you want to follow them into the foxhole based on a pack of lies? Blair is an idiot. He should have followed his wife's original advice to NOT get along with Republicans. He should currently ignore her greed-is-good mantra but they'll probably get away with following other UK 'leaders' (ROTFLMAO) into the corruption bucket.

I wish for a multitude of 911's over there.

and there, I mean iran, the main sponsor of this mayhem on their own and our's.


You're wishing death and destruction on the scale of 911 on Iranians. That's why I thought you hated them. If this is how you talk about people you do not hate, what do you wish on people you actually do hate...eternal hellfire?

As for the remnants of the nasty colonial past, I'm not really sure Europe or the US can do much that is useful. After all, look what they've done to the country of Iraq. Look at the mess that is Katrina.

I think your belief in the power of the West is not really justified any longer. The UK hasn't been important in a long time and the US is, because of this kind of horrendous management, is headed down the same sorry path.
