It's not all "yanks" - most didn't even vote for Bush - same as with Blair.
So they [and we] as ordinary people have/had no say in the matter, neither have the troops who should be supported now they are there.
That is along the lines of ...
Germany looking back at the devastation of the second world war then immediately wanting a second Hitler back in power - insane -

How much money does it cost to stage the world cup!!! Shouldn't that money be put to more humanitarian use, starvation in Africa for example or trying to address the mess we made in Iraq or any other humanitarian need you can think of, rather than spending the money on the world cup, its pathetic!!
Originally posted by Vladamir no1No. The poor of the world wouldn't appreciate it, because they don't even know what a cup is, let alone a gold one that you would get as a prize for being the best bunch of kickers chasing a bag of wind about on a field of nice, green, healthy, well-watered, edible grass while 84,000 frustrated referees wearing brightly coloured shirts and waving the flags of many countries, watch and fight each other, and the police, on the sidelines, and 150 million others sit on their comfy sofas drinking beer and cheering them on whilst their poor downtrodden wives gossip on their phones to the wives of other fat lazy basterds who are watching a couple of dozen fully grown men of different nationalities, some of whom also have singing wives who don't even know which fridge the beer is in, and wouldn't even think of pulling that tab in case they break their fingernails which have just been scrubbed, varnished, polished and painted up with pretty little stars and heart-shaped stick-ons, the cost of which was more than the poor sod in Africa earns in a month if he works every day and sells his cow to the highest bidder in the market in the town 180 miles away across the dusty dry fields........
