Teribus, we have been over this a million times and you are entitled to your opinion but on this point, you are the minority and so is the U.S. govt.

If you are strictly speaking about, "... a sovereign state's interest...", you might have a point. Doesn't mean, however, that it is right for the world or in the interest of humanity.

..and in hindsight, the people of the U.S. now realize that they were lied to and that this war is not about the good of the nation but about enriching George Bush and his cronies. Something that Canadians have always known.

Bush thought he could, 'Go it alone' and look where its got him.

Is it in your sovereign state's best interest to ruin the nation economically? What has the invasion of Iraq accomplished other than the removal of Saddam? Do the people of the middle east appreciate what the U.S. has done?

As the opening post suggests, "You have made my name stink in the land"

Thats what U.S. foreign policy has done for its citizens.
