It's not surprising so many people are indeed against the conflict and invasion of Iraq by US-led coalition force when the real reason for the B/S in the first place WAS.. and indeed IS Afghanistan and it's surrounding border countries... who (allegedly) train and harbour Mr Bin Laden and his scallywags who (allegedly) are responsible for the attrocity to innocent people in the Twin Towers on 9th September 2001.

We can be respectful and agree that Saddam was a raving tyrant and needed to be dealt with as only such despots can be - by force.

Indeed, Saddam DID breach many infamous UN sanctions so needed to be punished... not "because" of the daily attrocities he had carried out in his name to his own people there in Iraq !! Oh no, he was mis-appropriating tax-payers money belonging to member countries of the U.N.... can't have that now can we?

However, US instigated a global war on terrorism after the tragedy of 9/11 - but, exactly WHAT was the REAL tragedy of that day?
a) The needless deaths of so many innocent people going about thier daily business in theh Twin Towers?
b) The US Government FAILING to act on Intelligents reports long BEFORE 9/11?

The point of sending troops into Afghanistan was retaliation for 9/11 - to deal with the alleged perpetrators of that attrocity !

Unfortunately, after a lengthy time on the ground with raging battle in the South and North of Afghanistan, US forces received ordeers from thier Commander-in-Chief in 2003,- namely one George W Bush, President of the United States of America, to withdraw 77% of US troops in readiness for "war" in Iraq, KNOWING it would leave NATO troops on the ground GREATLY under-manned and under-resourced in the ONE place that the world coud see a reason why the troops were on the ground in that country for the fall of the Twin Towers in 2001.

USA ASKED UK to contribute troops from the UK Nations Best asset and resource, despite the rotation fo US troops already being of great concern to NATO.

Many countries have cut funding for the hamas run Palestine government, Additionally members of the hamas government have been caught smuggling money from outside Palestine into the country

Why can they not legally bring in (or be sent) money via secure truck or electronic transfer?
(a) is it technically illegal for any government to give money to the hamas government?
(b) is Palestine so reliant on foreign aid that it has no hope to support itself without foreign aid?

Thank-you for your time and effort reading this question, I would be interested in urls and other resources for more factual information about this situation
Please do backup your answers with facts if possible :)

I just saw a man on the TV talking about something in Iraq. He had SBC next to his name.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what SB is.
Any clue?

and live in Texas and Colorado. And wouldn't move to California, Florida, New York and California. My psychologist wanted my spanish to sound Rican. I lived 20plus years in Texas. Don't you think America doesn't know what time of the year it is. The selfishness, unintelligent, inconsiderate, rude people are all over the country. Many Americans do not understand what compassion, helping means.
Yes, I am an American who understands that lot of the problems in Mexico are caused by the our big business, our greed and tendency to exploit people every were including at home.
Yes, Hispanic immigrants are proud people, hard working and very much family oriented. When we realize that our home is the entire planet and stop working for few chosen. the lives of all of us will improve.

is it just as the present structure of the United Nation; only some powerful countries and the winners of the Second World War, have the right to veto?
