To some extent I do agree with you. The foreign policy of each individual country usually reflects what is best for that specific country at that given time. I don't disagree with you for the sake of it! From what you have said you seem to have infinately more knowledge and first hand experience of the situation than I do at present and that is why I find this dialogue very interesting. I appreciate, even if I draw this conclusion purely from books and reports, that the situation in the Middle East is not black and white. I hold no hostility towards any one specific group and would genuinely like to see peace in the region, not for our sake, but for the sake of the people who are living through it...I'm sure that on this we can agree! Whether we were instrumental in bringing Saddam to power or not he was an evil dictator who needed to be removed from power and despite the religious terrorism that has been born from his removal I would imagine that the majority of Iraqi people are glad to see the back of him.
