So I am wrong just because I am German?

This does not make an illegal breach of international law right. This does not
justify murder. Does it?


>Because we aren't imperialists

Next thing you tell me is you still believe in Santa Claus.

Maybe the majority of US citizens are not imperialistic. Hell, they don't even
know the essentials of geography and wouldn't know about the existance of Iraq,
Iran and North Corea at all if not for CNN.

But the current administration definetely IS imperialistic.

So what? You want to declare a war on anybody who ever lied and cheated? Go
ahead, take your time!

Why should Saddam comply to international law when the US don't give shit either
and break international treaties whenever it suits them?

I tell you what: Even if Saddam fully complied with all the UN resolutions ever
made: Bush still would have gone to war. He is a religous fundamentalist and
it's his crusade. And it's a family business. And there's oil. It's not about UN
resolutions. Bush only cares about the UN if it's for his favors.

As is Bush.
