There are two tunes being played he a military occupation and the
construction of a free society. It was only the latter that we asked
you to hum along with. Even Sri Lanka found it possible to contribute
some tea. But Europe! Pardon me while I retch.


You were told not to do it.You did it anyways. Quit whining and pay the
bill.
The "free society" in Iraq resembles yet another unstable arab country with
a significant terrorist problem (which Saddam's Iraq never was). And when
this beacon of freedom is going to arrange those free elections?


If you want to play humane world helper, why don't you start from Africa?

Europe.

Britain hasn't be a military dictatorship for a *very* long time.

You've been sleeping in class again, haven't you?

Perhaps I should have written "And among best friends of ... ".

Naah. Brits are too busy keeping their Islands from sinking from all the
rain, Japanese too busy reading naughty comics and Canucks too busy planning
invasion of USA to really take notice.
And Aussies just don't read threds which don't have "Beer" or "Beef" in
subject-line (or was it texans).

Subject of this thred : EU as joke. So this is just objective critisism, I
stand corrected ...

So what was the reason behind invasion of Iraq?
Was it :
a) weapons of mass destruction
b) getting troops from Saudi-Arabia to Iraq to please wahhabis in SA
c) help people in need
d) increase influence of USA in middle-east
e) election campaign
f) fight against international terrorism
g) big bad Saddam being mean to my daddy
h) lack of GWB's experience in foreign policy leading him into just doing
what he's told by his advisors
i) evil masterplan by really really really secret organization
j) some that I missed

Quite simply I believe it was combination of points a) to h) with some j)'s
added to it.
And why is that? The amount of money spent would could have been more
usufully spent in any single one of these points.

begin emulation of USA regarding crisis in Iraq

So we have concluded that regime change in Iraq wouldn't be that bad. Now we
just have to sell it to the people. People in USA are still suffering from
the shock of WTC, so we decide to use that fear as a leverage : we mention
WMD and terrorism.
Now we are ready to wage war against evil empire of Saddam! But dang, those
boring bureaucrats of UN and (most off the) rest of the world aren't so
enthusiastic, but it would be kinda nice to have them on board. So we try
again WMD, terrorism. (and forget the thing about target groups, buzzword
humanitarian crisis would have done better in Europe). It still doesn't
quite work and there are questions about the proof of these claims. Well we
don't need them anyways so we show them the finger and tell them how we can
do this alone if we have to.
We attack Iraq and sweep it's army (and Saddams control mechanisms) aside.
Now different groups all try to grab power in Iraq as much as they can. When
you combine this with Iraq and foreign Darwin awards winners blowing
themselves up here and there, remnants of Saddam loyalists doing their
stuff, general suspicion of USA by the population and Iran admiring shia
clerics you notice that managing this might me difficult (and expensive).
So now you use buzzword : "humanitarian crisis" for Europe but many
countries there are still sulking. Outside (and inside) Europe countries are
weary because they were just walked over in UN and now wonder if it really
is good idea to support someone that really doesn't care what they think. So
now we have to pay the bill in $$'s and risk Iraq being really turned into
chaotic state where terrorist organizations are going to have a field day.
d'oh

end

PS
The point i) is available for those who have a thing for conspiracy theories
(NWO, UFO, CIA etc).
PPS
The abundance of TLA's is purely coincidental and doesn't in any way imply
that i'm mr. Kurt Plummer.
