I laugh at the high hypocrisy so intrinsically evident in a moral/political
lecture from a German national.

If it wasn't for millions of dollars of allied aid (directly), and lots more in
humanitarian aid, thousands more Germans would have starved or died from disease
after WWII, and your country would have been in ruins for generations.

And just how "imperialistic" is the US and/or Britian? If that was true, then
why the hell isn't half of Germany a British province or a state in our Union?

Why aren't the Phillipines, Japan, Italy, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Afghanistan,
Panama, Kosovo, Bosnia, indeed, Iraq (from Desert Storm in 1991) our "colonies"?

Because we aren't imperialists, and you don't know your elbow from your ___hole.

Read up on the UN's weapon inspectors reports and news releases. Saddam's deceit
and lies regarding his weapons are well documented - by experts from around the
world.

Your blind spot will be cured immediately on the day a few thousand of your
countrymen are viciously killed by terrorists. Perhaps some anthrax or a spray
of reisen, nerve gas in a subway, or just a few hijacked airplane suicide
attacks.

On that day, your attitude will shift, believe it.

Everyone is saddened by the innocent loss of life in Iraq, not just Germans or
the French.

What the US and the UN have asked of Iraq is easy to do.

South Africa disarmed through the UN - showing great cooperation and a template
for Iraq to follow. But Saddam's not interested. More than anything he wants to
have WMD to help conquer or threaten other countries. And he is a war monger,
first, last, and foremost.
