He's generally unpopular in Europe because he is uncharasmatic, a bad public speaker and not as liberal as Europe generally is.

2. well, ofcourse they will never admit it. but where is the proof that they have been nuclar weapons? or chemicals? those "proves" they had before starting the war, were WRONG.

I'm sorry, but you're distracting from the point again. PROVE that oil is being stolen from Iraq and that said action was the basis for the war.

dont get me wrong.. i dont want to offend you, but i really really cant understand it. war is a bad thing. we had a lot of wars here in our country back some time, and i am happy that i did not live back then.
i think war should only be started if it is really necessary.. and this war, was not necessary at all. Saddam had not a chance, even if he liked too, to attack the US.

Don't worry, I'm not at all offended. I don't get my feelings hurt by someone who holds a different point of view then myself.
I don't disagree that the war in Iraq was badly sold, planned and executed. Nor do I think it solved much of anything, but instead created new problems. Saddam was just about starved to death by the sanctions and his killing the Iraqi economy by building palaces while unemployment grew.
Further, I don't believe that we can build world peace on empty stomachs, unemployment and more violence.
