I wonder if I can word my opinion on this mattah.
(I'm an American, for those who don't know.)
The "invasion" (I'm just using a popular term here) was wrong. The reasons for doing it were completely bunk. Regime change? Are you kidding me? They're free, yes, but who's to say as fact that one government is better than the other? It's relative. WMD? Well, it's proved false. The presentation wasn't even convincing. A bunch of indiscernible photographs in a White House-quality PowerPoint presentation. And to say that we were protecting ourselves from a gathering danger is ridiculous. That's like arresting someone for something that they haven't done yet.
BUT, the general consensus here seems to be that every American is a drooling retard that can't tell the difference between a gun and a lollipop. It's not completely America's fault. Hello, Britain. Welcome to the Coalition. You can't tell me that this is completely Bush's fault. I think that if we had been the lone wolf, opposition in the US would've been so strong that if Bush had decided to go to war anyway, the voters would've slaughtered him.
I think it's wrong, I think Bush is an idiot just like you do, but I don't think it's right to lump it all together into an American slam-fest.
