Very true. But that only counts if you're unable to lead yourself. I don't need A King, President or Grand Visier to tell me what's best for me. I can figure that out on my lonesome. If a King, President or Grand Visier wants me to go to war for them though, I'd like to see them fighting right there beside me, or at least somewhere
relatively close to the hotspots. It just seems to be 'go risk your lives so my circle of friends can get even richer'. Whether that's true or false, it's how it seems to the eyes of an outsider.
And it's like old Robert Del Naja said in relation to this situation, if you say you're anti-war, people just assume you're pro-Saddam. *shrugs*
