I have two or three issues with the whole of this.

Firstly, Who voted America World Police? I believe that no one country should ever have the right to go starting a war because they claim to feel threatened. They should be able to defend themselves if attacked but in NO WAY should they ever become the agressor. Iraq and Saddam have never been linked to Osama Bin Laden in any way shape or form, in fact I believe OBL actually is opposed to Saddam. WMDs have been proven to be a figment of American imagination.

Second: Democracy is 'our' view of a perfect state. Once again, we have a country who want to impose a way of life on another with NO proof that it will improve anything. There are a lot of people who believe Sharia law to be a perfect system. it is not for us to feel superior to them. Yes we see some things as barbaric and restrictive but that is because we see it from OUR viewpoint, not those whose believe in the system. There are two sides to every coin, it takes a lot to be able to see both sides in their own right.

The way the UN was effectively rode roughshod over scared me. It again showed that America will do what America wants with no regard for anyone else. The fact that a somewhat illiterate man is in charge of such a powerrful nation is plain scary. Whatever others think as has been pointed out elsewhere there are a lot of countries that have genocide issues yet because they have no oil they are left to get on with it.

These of course are my opinions and you are welcome to agree or disagree with them. I do though feel sorry for all those who have lost someone or have to live through pain and suffering because of this and all other wars.
