Germany is a bit less strict with immigration then my country.
Which is Holland.
Don't expect it to be "roses and sunshine" There is lots of bureacracy becomming EU citizen. Europe is not doing that well at this moment too.
Lots of unemployment. And very strict rules. And it is propably a good
idea to start learning German as well.

There is also a thing that is called the "German route" (duitse route)
It might be very interesting to read that. Because it could make emmigration much more easier.

I appreciate your point of view.

And i know that there is a lot of things that we hear in the press that
are untrue. So your right when you say that i should not believe everything the press tell me.

But attrocities like you say, do happen in Africa. So i do not agree on that.
I know someone that survived a massacre in Africa. And there was never any US military there to help.

In Uzbekistan the president will boil his opponents to death.

My latter point is that it is better if a country changes his government from within.

You say that the soldiers support Bush. But Bush does not respect you. He made
a joke about it too. When he looked under his desk looking for the Weapons of mass destruction.

There has never been any evidence found that they did find any weapons of mass destruction.
Which was the reason for Bush to start the war.

I appreciate your point of view. You clearly speak from the heart.
My friend he is a US soldier. And i have no doubts that he is a genuine and good person. That will risk his life to liberate others.
There is not much more noble a person can do in my view.
I am not standing up against people like that. But i believe that
soldiers are being used for political goals that they would never
support. But just have to execute. I agree that it was not a paradise
with Saddam either. He did horrible things. Like using chemical weapons on that village. And many more attrocities.
But my opinion is that Middle east history is very complicated.
And if the USA wanted to make a change then it should have stayed
out of this conflict. Rather then fueling it now. What the USA could
have done is to put pressure on Saddam from outside. For example South Africa. Their regime of apartheid ( dutch word... and i am ashamed of it ) got overthown too. By the people itselve. They can appoint leaders themselves. Maybe it does not look like enough what a country can do. But invading any country is against the will of the people.
For example say that Obama is a cruel leader. What would you think if
a country attacks the USA to liberate you from Obama his terror.
Would it not be better if the people of the USA do it themselves ?
I think that the majority would still concider the people that invade the USA as agressors. Despite their good intentions.

There is bombings, obductions, torture. intimidation.

Infrastructure is still damaged. The oil ministry was the only thing that
was protected by the Americans during the invasion of Iraq.

Area's are radioactively poluted from the shellings the USA used with depleted uranium.

Women's rights ?

Almost every day i hear something bad happened there. I did not hear
those things before when Saddam was in power. Well at least not on
the same scale that i hear nowadays.

If the US wants to be the judge of the world then why not go to
Africa ? There is cruel dictators there also. Or Uzbekistan ?

@ InvictusV

There are so many dictators in the world. I don't see the USA there.

Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo

Isayas Afewerki

Kim Jong Un

Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Saud

Islam Karimov

I don't see the "democracy" that USA brought in the Middle East
Most people in Iraq will agree with the fact that it was better before people started to kill each other now in sectarian violence, with Saddam.
If people want democracy in any country then it is the "will of the people" and not "the will of the USA".

@ Conrad_73

I am not surprised for that answer of yours. I knew that from the
first comment you gave me on the forum.
And we where talking about arming rebel groups that the USA has to go back to fight now, right ?
It could be on any name that you prefer to say or call.Mujahedin,Taliban and al-Queda are all "entwined"
Thats why so many thought going to Afghanistan and pick out the
Al-Queda members would be impossible. Because how can you spot one
in a village ? You might be talking to a Al-Queda without even knowing this. I am sure that many Mujahedin went to join the Taliban or Al-Queda.
The fact is that your country now wants to go back to fight them. After arming them.

You might want to tell me facts to convince me that i am wrong ?
Or do you prefer to stick to emoticons ?

No idea what a "woody" is. But i know a USA sergeant that agreed with me that they armed the Mujahedin there.

The reason why the USA "wun" in Afghanistan in the time that they faced the Russians there. Was because they provided the Mujahedin with surface to air missiles. So they could shoot Russian helicopters from the sky. This was the turning point for the Russians to get out of Afghanistan.

It is like other people here have already said... If the USA did not intervene in the Middle East then it would not have to go there to continue fighting. Middle Eastern leaders had things under control there. Off course they where dictators.
But the people where better off then they are now.
There are many places on the world where people get oppressed. I don't see the USA there.. now why is that ?
