To whom apologize anyway ? No apology did come our way following the 'old Europe' tantrum. By the way, why would 'old' be considered an insult anyway ? Yes, the European countries are older than the US. Couldn't it suggest that we may bring more wisdom to the debate - as you are always so prone, MagiK, to dismiss young people's insights for lacking of experience ... 
How long since the US have suffered a war on their own land ? The civil war - 150 years ago. Nobody is still alive to talk of first-hand experience. Here in France, most families have still living members who talk about what it was like, during WWII and even WWI. We know in our very flesh what a war means from the inside - and the personal consequences of these two wars are not past yet.
Who will suffer more from a war - Saddam and the guys in power, or all the Irak citizens who have already suffered so much under Saddam and will now get bombed ?
Also, if I was a simple citizen of Irak or a countru nearby, I would probably resent a lot these people who come from far away to intrude in our affairs, hit us, and then tell us what to do. I thought we were to fight terrorism ? This doesn't look as if it will bring it down at all !

Excuse me, but why does the US need to prove Iraq has womd ? Wasn't it the other way around ? Aren't the Iraqi's supposed to prove they DON'T have them ? I believe that was the case, and so far the Iraqi's failed to do that in a dramatic way. So if there's going to be an invasion, it's totally justified, it's not like the US didn't give them any chances to prove us all wrong. They're still playing hide and seek, and frankly, it's getting quite annoying. So thinks the Bush administration, and a few European countries. Enough is enough.
