It's funny one year ago I was talking to an American friend. She's got a good heart, but is so sadly misled.

We were talking about the inminent war with Iraq, and I said that I thought that seemed to me more like a smoke screen to cover up Bush's bad performance in economy. She got really angry and said that "No" because the facts about the WMD have been confirmed, and she has the right to have her government protect her life blah blah blah. She was very excited and very blatant about the US military going to attack (even unprovoked) such a small country because it was a serious danger to her life if they didn't. I wonder what does she say now. Would she be pleased to be footing the bill for the giantic army stationed in Iraq in search for non-existent WMD and with no exit plan? And I must say this is a lady who was a bit tight on money and fearful of losing her job.

The same goes for the other American guy who was telling me about "the facts about the Iraqi WMD". He added that in the aftermath, he'd firmly oppose the Frech, the German, and the Russians to participate in the reconstruction because those were the guys profiting from Iraq's WMD program execution (according to him, they were providing the parts and technology). So, he'd oppose them participating in the reconstruction cause they'd be making even more money out of a "mess they helped to create". Now it's the US government that wants those three countries to provide men and money to help clean up a mess they opposed creating in the first place!
