re: What your america has done...

Invade a sovereign state that was no threat to it nor the world.

I guess all those little boys who were taking out of school and never to be seen again and all those people killed in those mass graves was just part of the wonderful sovereign policy. I guess shooting at the enforcers of the no-fly zone pilots on a daily basis was just a game and giving suicide families thousands of dollars for blowing up businesses, buses and killing non-Muslims is not a threat.

Use false reasons to justify the invasion.

Failing to comply to UN resolutions is real and countries who do so should face the consequences with real action not words that go in one ear and out the other. Unless you like the corruption that took place with Iraq and France.

Occupy a sovereign state long after its latter reason has been captured and put to jail.

Right, leave and let more murders run the countries.

Use dammageable words such as "If you're nor for us, you're against us" to humiliate anybody not agreeing with them.

Better to humiliate by secretly making deals with a murderer while breaking the law of the world?

I do now hope americans realize that such an invasion is not paying off.

I think it will pay off. It will take time but the outcome will benefit the world. It is already benefiting most Iraqi’s as the economy has doubled, women are voting, girls and boys are attending schools and they are not being hauled off to prisons, more people have electricity, running water and they are able to vote for there leaders.

However, the US has lost one very important thing: the ability, through soft power, to convince any country not to undertake actions going against simple international law .

Soft power is why Saddam did what he did, why N. Korea spent the millions the US gave them to further there nuclear program when they weren’t supposed to and why the EU has failed with Iran. All soft power does is allow the people who want to kill us time to be in the position to do so. The Clinton years proofs this as in the 9/11 attacks where planned for years while soft power was the rule, N. Korea and now Iran.
