| Mummelmann said: No no, it was all the WMD's of course. No, wait, it was to liberate the Iraqi people. No, wait, both those are bullshit, there are other regimes in the world far more terrible than Saddam ever was in nations that would be far, far easier to conquer so I somehow doubt that "Operation Iraqi Freedom" as it was suddenly dubbed, commenced out of the kindness of the hearts of the gentlemen in suits. There is also stark contrast in the way Europeans and Americans view this war. |
I think there's a pretty simple reason why Americans view the war differently. It has to do with watching people jump to their deaths live on TV.
How would the average frenchman feel if the Eiffel Tower was bombed, and they watched people jump from it and hit the concrete?
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
