And what about what he has been doing to his own people since 1990? Do we just turn a blind eye to that?

Isn't that exactly what we did for decades?

And even then, why did Iraq become such a pressing matter after 9/11? Because Saddam had WMD that he'd either use, sell or give away.

Except, it appears he didn't. So now without a leg to stand on, we use our new-found concern for the well-being of the Iraqi people as a crutch.

Just because America has come to the aid of democracy in Europe doesn't obligate the latter to follow us blindly. Besides, we went for our own good as much as for theirs, don't you think? Wasn't it during the Hossbach meeting (1934 I beleive) that Hitler openly spoke of the eventual need for a war against America?

If they think we're wrong about something, they should be able to let us know. It doesn't mean they're "with the terrorists" (as in, you're either with us or you're...). All it means is they think we're wrong about something.
