You really must be blind, not to see that the war in Iraq has absolutely nothing to do with fighting terrorism, and everything to do with controlling oil resources, vital to America's economy and way of life.

Don't forget that French troops were, and are still, with the U.S. in Afghanistan, where it is really about terrorism.

Please stop mixing everything together.

In Europe, we never bought that line, just remember the polls before the war, in every single European country, both "old" and "new"; damn it, even in Britain!!!!

Of course Saddam was a scourge, and I am happy he is gone, but was he not the same scourge, in the 1980s, when he was actively supported, with money (your taxpayers' money!!!) and weapons, by the United States (and France). He just, perfectly, suited American and French interests in the area then, and none of your or our great leaders seemed to mind his atrocities, at the time.

Some of you seem to believe the U.S. is fighting for the common good; you must be dreaming! And you, surely, also believe Santa Claus comes in through the chimney each year, don't you?

The U.S. is not better and not worse than anybody else, it's just fighting for its national interest. Like every damn country does, since the beginning of time.

This is just normal, but please stop the preaching and come back to God's gray earth.
