View of an Irishman living in Germany:

Obviously we are receiving reports on the Iraq war in Ireland and Germany which digress totally with those of CNN or other American news sources. I would like to comment on some points mentioned in this thread.

From Deckmann:

"But, in spite of what we said, again and again, he made the decision, by himself, to start this stupid war".

Sorry, I can`t agree!

If HE referrs to GW Bush, then never, oh never did Bush make any decisions by himself. He is nothing more than a puppet with very low intelligence who is being controlled by people like Rumsfeld, Cheeny and others (and they are the most dangerous types). They are the real perpetrators of war who really pull the strings in the background and use this brainless cowboy as an instrument of implementation.

On top of this, this fool has now become smug, arrogant and conceited when addressing the press.

McGrath of Harlow is absolutely right when he says that this group at the oval office have completely played into the hands of the terrorists and Bin Laden might just as well have benn living in the oval office playing chess, and willingly sacrificing willing expendable pieces.

Surely though at the end of the day, one must wonder if Bush & Co. should not be held responsible for War Crimes.
