Hey, it's all understood
Your right there are no perfect governments in the world because if there were, situations as severe as this would never happen. With wars come casualties, and almost everyone no matter which side they are on will have to pay some costs.
I hate my government, and I have to bloody vote at the next election. I think I'd rather pay the fine ($20). At least your government is independent, not relying on the British Commonwealth like we are.
At least now decades of deceit and cruelty by saddam will now reach an end.
