But it is not a complicated issue. War never is. Some group of people either hates another group of people, or wants their land and resources and and does the "natural" thing and attacks. Unfortunately, in a few conflicts those two requirements for war exist on BOTH sides.

But it's the conflict between the have and have nots. That was the issue in Iraq before we got involved. The problem is that Americans and Europeans want what Iraq has as well. That is why we will try our best to make sure that whatever Iraq government is set up will brown-nose the U.S. as much as possible.
