@ Elgi, I am sorry you "Hate" U.S. citizens. I am sure there are many many of us who would bring you in from the cold, and protect you despite your feelings for us. I am not my goverment. I am a human being. I still feel great sorrow 2 years after 911. I don't ever want to see that happen to anyone ever again. In any country, any world.
If you read carefully, you would notice that I wrote:
And if disagreeing with Bush and the current US goverment means hating the USA and US citizens: Yes, I do hate the USA and US citizens.That doesn't mean I hate US citizens. I just wanted to make clear that not agreeing witb GWB and criticizing his imperialistic politics DO NOT mean hating all Americans. That would be ridiculous. In fact, as ridiculous as always bringing up this hate issue in these discussions. Whenever I try to discuss with US people and then criticize Bush, there is at least one bright person telling me how they are sick of being hated. I am not anti-american! WE are not anti-american. Bush is.
And just a few words to those few blinded ones who still think that the war was only because of the horrible WMDs in Iraq:
"The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on, which was weapons of mass destruction, as the core reason."(Paul Wolfowitz, US Deputy Defense Secretary - source:
CNN.com and many others as well)
Other than that, try checking
The Project for the New American Ce...ilding America's Defences" doctrine - you might probably find information at the end which shows you that there are more reasons for a war in Iraq than WMDs and terrorism. In fact, much more important reasons.
