Oh, yeah right

Iraq attacked America?

Did you hear about that organisation of Osama bin laden? you know, al Quaeda (or whatever, I don't care how it's spelled)
You know, the ones who attacked you guys?

They..
are..
not..
from..
Iraq...

I hope this is not too hard to understand for you, but Osama was last seen in afghanistan/pakistan, 2 countries that are not Iraq.

Iraq was attacked because it allegedly had weapons of mass destruction (of course it was a lie, but who gives a hoot? right?) NOT because they attacked you.

BECAUSE THEY DIDN"T!

And I am very sorry to hear about wounded people and your family and friends aren't the only ones at war. My country (for some reason) decided to support this war as well, and therefore my countrymen are there fighting and getting shot at. But, I would've condoned it, or at the very least not have been so pissed about it, if it had been for a remotely honest reason.

I mean, if they had just claimed it was for the oil.. Well then I could have said: "good for you and by extension, us" But that won't ever happen because then war would sound much more pointless than 'dieing to save poor oppressed people' seeing as you would be dieing for money even your family won't ever get to see!

I hope you understand this.. But to be honest, I kinda think you are not really paying attention to how the facts actually are...
