US 38 mil
UK 15 mil (out of 150(!) promised for the next 5 years)
Saudi Arabia 10mil
Norway 6.8mil
Netherlands 33mil
Kuwait 5mil
Italy 17mil
Japan 5mil
Germany 10mil
Finland 2.7mil
European Commission 15mil
Denmark 5mil
Canada (around) 25mil

US: 38 out of 188, 20%

thinking that the terrorist threat(that we tried to eliminate in afganistan) was "slightly" over 20% on the US, i'd say it was a good deal

no responses after the data?

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.

if the US wants to bring down regimes using the majority of US forces, they should fit the majority of the bill. you break it you buy it.

If so, I don't get it.

Yes, I have read the book, a translated Finnish version.

If youi've read 1984 and still don't get the redference, you really didn't understand the book...

[MRT144]

[red_jon]

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.'

I think if 9/11 never happened, we'd still be fighting this war. Bush and cabal had a hard-on for this since the administration took office.

You're right, though. It's not about freedom at all, but power. And we now have another 5 years or so of US imposed martial law to look forward to, just like in Afghanistan.

All of Europe gave 116mil. Netherlands alone put the US to shame.

Somebody should contribute to the website, it sucks.

Ah, how I miss the pro-war camp's contributions to this thread.

Not that it surprises me, but I was wondering if I could get a source on that 42% poll. I could swear someone touted that 'poll' here before and failed to provide a source...

You know, we aren't proud of that fact. It's just too easy...

Just go ask all those people who go to Ground Zero to hold pro-war ralies saying how the war in Iraq actually begun there, cause "they hit us first". I am sure they will tell you that they are doing it for rhetorical reasons, and are well aware that as of this moment, no links betwen the Saddam regime and 9/11 were found. I also loved this one piece on PBS' The News Hour when they had a segement prewar about the string of municipalities passing statements against the war. They focused on this small Oegon twon, and during the discussion the president of the City Council, who opposed the anti-war resolution, stated that "it had been found that many of the hijackers came from Iraq"

Strangely, the pro-war camp seems determined to let this thread sink.
