MOCKBA you said that i would be fair for Americans to not contemplate
on such a question on the "What if's" sorry to tell you brother but this is
reality and judging from the many anti-war protestors home and abroad
as well as this forum the thought beckons. I agree that America has no
business with the affairs of oither countries and although I don't like
playing super hero to a lost cause I think the case with the United States
intervening was "cause and effect."

I believe that this cause and effect didn't exist in 2001 but many decades
prior to this event. With all this said I still think even out of misguided
and perhaps this mistake of intervention did SOME good. Although we
may not see it in the media or ever see it I believe that there are some
sectors of these countries where people are flourishing whereas before
they wouldn't have. Honestly me being ok with a corrupt Muslim
government wouldn't sit well with me. Even if the United States intervened
which poison would you choose? I tend to think the fact that America is
seen as more of a Judeo/Christian nation as well as a supporter of Israel
is more of a disturbing image more than anything IMO.

In case you didn't know the British lost the war and that is why they pulled out. Otherwise I think the war would of kept on going.

Get it through your heads that I don't support Bush or the Israeli's! Thank your lucky stars for America is here to stay!!!

Ok so both of you side stepped the question. Why should America leave when we left Afghanistan in a mess and it came back to bite us? Hanan anything to add other than your own assumptions about me? Why is it that I have to be a Bush supporter just because I asked that question? Why is it that you can't ever answer a question with a simple answer that doesn't go into "you love bush" arguments?

To this day we hear people talk about how we left Afghanistan in a mess and how we created the situation for OBL to grow into what he has so why in the world should we take that chance again? We could cut all ties to the middle east and we would still be blamed for the problems. I started to notice that no one in the middle east wants to accept responsibility for thier own actions. I would guess that the terrorists in Iraq has killed more civilians than the US since they actually target the local Iraq's who are trying to make the best of themselves by getting jobs and such but since nutjob with a bomb thinks they should not be working for the current government that they deserve to die. Of course no one seems to ever talk about that part of the war.

MOCKBA,

From you: "It would also be good to charge America for the destruction and chaos it has brought to the country and region as a whole... Oh, and they could have Saddam as a take-away memorabilia."

Exactly and likewise the cost of rebuilding Lebanon should be charged to Israel and come from the coffers of Israel. Why should others pay?

Best Regards

BMZ
