Oh so the USA is only moralic superior nation if it is easy? Liberating some nations is "annoying"...

So the people have to starve a bit longer, no problem for them, they are used to it...

Why wait? Why not force him out just like Saddam? I try to see the whole picture with the eyes of a pro War guy and it makes no sense. so please explain it to since I seem to be too stupid...

And if he is gone, do have plans for the time after that? or will it be try and error like iraq? Do you have plans to prevent the nation to become a nation "where various tribes like to murder each other on a daily basis" or where various groups try to murder american troops on a daily basis?

Do you think the USA will wait until a stable goverment is installed in the iraq or will they try to get out of there as quick as possible leaving the nation in a potentially unstable situation?

nice try, but there are no connections between Saddam and AlKaida.
