And it's much easier to be pro-war (even if it's not directly pro-war, but
you know what I mean) when you've never had a war in your own country, all
you did was seeing soldiers (!) die abroad, fighting for the western
economical standard. I think this is something Americans will have to learn
(better not to experience, let's not be cynical).
Please don't flame too much, I've lived in America for quite a while and I
know whats going on in a lot of people's mind....

Stop the war, US and Allies (soon including Germany) out of the Gulf, Iraq 
out of Kuwait.
