Hubert Humania asked:
<<A German expert on Iraq has published a book with the title "Who will be
crying for Abdul and Tanyana" trying to direct the attention on the misery
of the civil deaths in Iraq. Think about dead women and children too, when
you will be proud to have conquered the oil wells with your American marine
friends

Your "Iraq Expert" doesn't seem to ask, Who weeps for them now? Its not as if
brutality or murder doesn't currently exist in today's Iraq. Who will weep
for American children once Saddam or Uday can deliver bio-warfare to Boston
harbor? Your presumption is that "doing nothing" will assure safety. Your
second presumption is that your EU junior partner, France, is not doing
things in the world, strictly for petrol too, namely, its entire middle east
policy. Your third presumption is that the Jihadi Muslims movement will not
attack you first, even if you side with them. The French situation in the
middle east, with its oil tankers, and the Paris bombing campaign of 1999 by
Muslim militants suggests otherwise.
Can the Iraqi expert you cite, come up with some real-world examples for not
invading Iraq? Depriving the Islamic militants of a victory, might dissuade
them from further 9-11 attacks; and weakness seems merely to spawn more
contempt and aggression from them.
