Sorry, but Bowser has lots of points.
I remember Buck's post with a Yes or No alternative (Ã la black or white like conservatives reason).
This reminds me of the US journalists asking De Villepin if he wanted the US to win in Iraq "Yes or No"...
Or like here.
After all, we can also ask: did the US invade Iraq to expand Islamist integrism "yes or no"?
(A no would mean it's failing, but that too is too humiliating, isn't it?)
Comparing with the Germans invading Europe...Sorry, but when we saw US soldiers storming inside Iraqi houses with children scared to death, this is exactly what my Grandparents, my father and my uncle went through during the occupation. My uncle was taken to jail, but luckily his girlfriend (my aunt) went there and with lots of gutts and a fluent knowledge of german, she got him out. She saved his life. My grandparents offered her a huge diamond and they got married.
Do US soldiers speak arabic, in order to win their hearts?
Concerning the Middle East, Israel has the A Bomb, so do Pakistan and India and what is the international community doing about this?
None of those countries belong to the permanent members of the UN Security Council.
What Bowser does is putting himself in the other side's shoes.
This is something I'm very familiar with in Europe, much more than in the US, unfortunately.
Even the french are capable of reviewing their behavior during colonial times or even keeping a low profile about the Austerlitz battle (which they won).
