and that has what to do with countries like Spain? Kuwait was something totally different and they feel a debt of gratitude so they fall in.
Look, in this thread I am not arguing the rights and wrong of the 'war' because frankly I wasn't totally against the war (even if I didn't like the reasons behind it all that much) and also that debate has been had before.
This is saying that one of 'allies' took one because we asked (or told...you decide) them to stand by us.
Now, for you all it might be a far away country but for some of us we had people we know who just missed blowing up. Remember 9/11? Well to a lot of people over here it feels like that right now.
So, snide comments and 'lets play with the idiot newbies that don't know enough not to argue back to 12clicks' attitude is going to piss people off. Worst terroist attack in Europe - EVER - so how about not being jackasses for a minute and giving a ounce of respect to the people that died.
I could play 'lets twist phrases' all day but frankly wether Al Queda was connected to iraq before or after is symantics. Just because there wasn't a connection doesn't mean we didn't create this situation.
People demand that parts of Europe kiss the feet of America all the time because of ww2. One nation just paid back a bit of that debt and people play 'asshole of the day' with it. Have fun.
