wow that comment surprised me from you, such arrogance I'm not from the US and I don't wear pajamas, even in bed lol.
we have more freedom than you, we don't believe all the rubbish the media feeds us, yes we are british(well scottish)
the last 2 gulf wars we have lost almost more troops to the American trigger happy atitude than we have to the so called enemy.
the problem with you lot is you only think of yourself, your oil, the money it costs etc etc, you never learn, you sat back and watched a dictator taking over the world(hitler) saying it's not our war, and at that time it wasn't( how many millions of lives ouwl the US have saved if they had soem vision and not so selfish), but you have no vision past your own selfish existence, had japan not pulled you into the war hitler would have took over europe, strenghtned then attcked and beat the US, now I know this seems to have no relevance but bear with me, saddam was building hatred for the US(and we backed you, we didn't wait idly like you did) after 9/11, we need to take these threats out before they become way too dangerous, ie have nuclear or chemical capabilites, no we back our allies against al queada etc. we don't sit back and say nothing to do with us....
I think the british and american response was correct after 9/11, we can't sit back and let them build hatred towards us, we need to snuff out future threats before they can harm us, not sit back and attack the easy option of the very people who are trying to save us in the future.
don't ever forget, it was americans fault there was even a second gulf war, britain wanted to eliminate the republican guard when we had them trapped, your senate pulled the plug and let them escape, if they went on and took out the republican guard and saddam like the british wanted to there would have been no need for a second war, but then you got what you wanted your oil.
we didn't get what we wanted and that was justice and freedom for the iraqi people, I am an ally of the US and the rest of UK but your selfishness makes it very difficult at times, if you sat back and did nothing like so many of you are suggesting then the more powerful they would inevitably get would eventually strangle the US, the sensible thing is to take out the threats before they become too strong and cost many miore innocent lives than they are now, try looking at the bigger picture and one that doesnt just affect you.
