War in Iraq has gone just fine this month: 133 invaders dead,
1000 wounded. In whole war, about 850 invaders dead, at
least 5000 wounded. Should be enough that the Anglo-Saxons
don´t organize new crusades to Iran and Syria when this mess
is over.

I have nothing against "humanitarian wars", on the contrary,
I support them. For example, intervention in Darfur and the
defeat of Arab militias, intervention in Palestine and the defeat
of Israel, the kicking of Morocco out of Western Sahara and
the ending of Burma´s military dictatorship(in power since 1962)
would all be wars that I would support. But the war against
Iraq was about oil, Israel and neocon obsessions.

A humanitarian war in Iraq would have been justified in 1988,
when maybe 30 000 Kurds were killed in the ANFAL campaign,
or during the 1991 Kurd and Shia uprising. But in 1988 Iraq
was still on the "good side" and in 1991 realpoltik dictated that
the Baath party should remain in power.
