[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] I think we have to separate September 11th from the Iraq issue. The vast majority of all people in the free world were with the USA and with Bush's policy towards the terrorists and the government that had given them shelter (well, maybe except for Chretien ). It was absolutely justified, and is confirmed by the success of the whole operation. But the connection between Iraq and terrorism is indirect at best. It's a whole different situation. 11 years ago, I was in favor of Desert Storm, as Hussein had taken Kuwait with force (with weapons delivered by many Western countries), was suppressing any opposition with brute force, had poisoned thousands of innocent people and was developing even more mass destruction weapons. But what did Bush's father do after they had retaken Kuwait and destroyed his infrastructure? He withdrew his forces because people in the US wanted the boys to come home. With Iraq's opposition slaughtered, the people of Iraq starving and a certain moral victory on his side, Hussein is now stronger in his own country than ever, thanks to Bush Senior. But at the same time, he is not the threat by far for anyone than he was 11 years ago. A tiger without teeth. Many Americans may think "better attack late than never". But I say "don't cause all this pain and grief again"! [/QB][/QUOTE]
