The US and Britain are the ones who are reopening the wound. And I bet you had the gall to tell your parents it was THEIR fault that you had misbehaved.. Thus, they should blame themselves, not you... Iraq has been contained for 11 years and we have starved one million children in the process! And who's had to pay the $$$ to accomplish that "containment"?? And who's servicemen have had their lives placed in danger by doing so?? As for the 1 million starving kids, I guess we're to blame for Saddam building all of those palaces since 1991, right?? We told him to spend billions on building man-made lakes on these palace grounds, or ransacking archeological sites for marble, right?? And you prefer that we continue that kind of containment, rather than doing what's necessary and forcing a regime change so we don't have an excuse for a million Iraqi kids to be starving?? Or are you into letting people starve?? Hawk
