Saddam was put into power in Iraq by the US, because the guy before him started buying weapons from the Soviets.Then you used Saddam against Iran.How can any war-avoiding model (European or not) ever work, if all you guys can think of is sending in the Marines and B52s and blowing the place to rubble?Peace is never a joke, it is a dream.A dream crushed by American ignorance and brutality. At least for now...
