Well, that's all hunky dory about you finishing the job an' all, but I believe the point here is that you will have to take the bill. In Norway (I will, at some point stop referring to Norway in every post, but this time it felt right), we have a saying that goes "if you want to play, you'll have to take the pain" (it rhymes in Norwegian, that makes it more snazzy). The US should have known that this could be the outcome, and they should be able to handle it without the help of us "useless" countries. Surely they didn't go to war without calculating some losses? I am sure many European countries will be happy to hand out emergency aid if needed, but the burden of the reconstruction of Iraq belongs to the ones who started the war in the first place.

Wow, your English is excellent and even better than a lot of American posters on this board. Is English an official language of Norway? |
