Going to try to stay out of the bitchfest..

But why does every single (seemingly) foriegn guy here think that the US cares much whether the world supports it's actions or not?

You probably don't (at least shouldn't) care what the US thinks of your countries actions, and hell, I could care less myself in most cases. Why does it seem all the EU bitches about is the US doing this and that?

I'm all for isolationism. But, if we feel that Saddam is just a ticking bomb and he will indeed one day get the capability to attack the US (or allies for that matter), we will go in. Period.

I'm not saying that's the case, hell if I know. But, if it was the case why would we give two fucks about the rest of the world not liking us stomping over saddam? Last I checked we were our own country.

We all know how far doing nothing got you guys in WWII (well, all of us.. US didn't do anything either to be fair).

But oh well, when I grew up I had these happy happy thoughts that the US and most of the EU were happy fun fun friends and such, having fought WWII together and all that. But, I grew up and realized instantly there is a ton of animosity for ANYTHING someone can think of coming from the EU to the US.

I really can't say I hear of too much US -> EU hate going on though, unless of course you include france in the EU.

To sum things up: Why the fucking hell does the EU (or anyone) give two shits if the US wants to take it upon itself to fuck over some asshole dictator. The only thing I can think of, is you guys think saddam is a great guy who's good for his country.

Ah well, I shoulda stayed out.
