I think the world would be a much safer place if _every_ country would learn to respect the value of life and if the politicans wouldn't just care about their and their countries benefit (no matter the cost). That includes Saddam as well as George. Things that make me feel sad are that politicans don't learn from other senseless and brutal wars in the past. And not even 'civilized' western countries learn from it. Every reasonable person should say that WW1, WW2, Vietnam and so on are more than enough. But it doesn't seem like that. What I don't understand is: why are americans afraid of Iraqi attacks? Could they really have some long-distance bombers to fly over to U.S. and attack them? I don't believe it. And - also interesting: why is nobody afraid here in europe? You can talk to every person you want - nobody is afraid - and we're so much closer. Could it be that it is this _new_ american climate of fear? The movie Bowling for columbine was a good example for that. We don't understand your thoughts here in europe. Why do you have this climate of fear? Why is it so extreme? Another question: americans are more religious than europeans and all my american friends are more religious than I am. I could never want a person to be killed - and also not in a war. I could never arrange that with myself and religion. Why can so many americans do that, even if they are more religious? I asked my american friends... but I didn't get an answer. That makes me sad. Christian p.s. A last comment: American TV Stations like CNN, NBC and so on are broadcasting such a crap all the time. What a propaganda machine. Is it that why americans are so afraid? Is it that why so many normal americans change their mind about war on iraq these days? To the 'american news design group': Good work. You are successful. p.s. If anyone feels offended: I'm sorry, I only wanted to ask some things. And I can't get those things into my head. p.s.
