Jesus! Your world shurely is black and white!

Europeans don't disagree that terrorism is a big problem, and should be
adressed.

But we are not even allowed to disagree on how the problem should be
solved without being backstabbing SOBs? That is exactly the arrogance
that concerns me and other europeans!

If the europeans truly believe that it is wrong to just attack Irak
without solid evidence of weapons of mass destruction, why should they
support it? Because we are friends? If all your friends jumps of a
cliff, would you do it too?

I am all for wiping out Saddam, which has done nothing good for anybody,
but to have any kind of moral high ground, it has to be done the proper
way. We must wait until the weapons are found before attacking.

Is it hating USA to hold that opinion?

So far Bush is doing a very poor job convincing anybody that he is
morally right in attacking Irak. Especially the arab countries are
convinced it is all just a ploy to get cheap oil.

Exactly the situation that turned Osama and many other arabs against the
USA. So how can that be a long term solution?
