You first have to let it desolve back into a bunch of warlord-controlled mini-fiefdoms with a central government that doesn't even have full authority over the capital. Then, after years of neglect, everything will be super."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

Who gave most of the aid to Afganistan?A good question you could ask at this point is, "Where is the money from the rest of the international community?" Reconstructing Afghanistan was never meant to be a US only affair.Comment

You see, IIRC, EU paid the most €€€bigbucks£££, altough this wasn't in the US mainstream media. However, I'm actually not certain, and wouldn't like to notice that I was wrong, so I'm trying to get you to give the info to me. Guess what? It seems that neither of us knows. And I'm way too lazy to search google.Comment

Bush wanted tangibe revenge, a carcass to drag through the streets to appease the masses, when it became aparrent he wasn't going to get OBL, Saddam was the next best.
If he'd have got OBL locked up and on trial, Iraq would probally never have happened. Thats what sticks in my throat when we hear this self-righteous BS about 'freeing the people of Iraq.'Comment
