    <<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.
