i think there is a degree of caution all over the Middle East regarding the US and UK,and quite rightly so.
as an English guy i,m deeply offended that Bush and Blair took us into an illegal war.!
Iraq was far from perfect and Saddam was a tyrant,but they did have stability.!
4,000 US troops killed.270 British,97,000 innocents.......and countless other thousands maimed forever.!
is it worth it.?.........NO.! its a disgrace.!
when we look at other oppressed nations,Zimbabwe,Darfur etc........the West does nothing to ease their poverty and wretched lives.!
i wonder if the lack of oil is a factor.?
