   Indeed. Germany didn't attack you, but Japan did. USA figured it might as well stop its isolationist policy and help the rest of the world (except for Japan, Germany, Italy and the smaller attached players) fight a war. I'm not sure you realize just how many countries were fighting the war before the Americans decided to pull their finger out and join. Perhaps they thought that they'd be able to stay where they were and nobody would bother attacking them. I don't the reasoning behind the policy makers of the time but in any case Pearl Harbour solved that problem for them. Heres an interesting statistic, how many civilians died? 6. They died when a Japanese firebomb exploded killing a pastor, a teacher and four children.
   
   North Korea never attacked and strangely enough after losing all of those lives it ended up at the same place: the 38th parallel. The war was quite literally pointless and started where it began. Now they have big guns pointed at each other.
   
   Why did anyone go into Vietnam? Its beyond me why it was done and just like Korea, it was fought back and I'm certain that the combined forces didn't win that one either. So, theres another tie/loss.
   
   Lets review Bosnia then. Bosnia gets attacked unilaterally. Bosnia now develops terrorist groups to attack their attackers. See a link here?
   
   Who sent them to Iraq? Who stood up and said that we need to go there? Bush is the mouthpiece at least if he is not guilty of the crime. Iraq wasn't fighting any one and it is now beyond obvious that they never posed a threat to anyone. We haven't found any WMD, and their defence forces crumbled far too easily. So troops are there for freedom. I could have sworn we went there for WMD's because they posed a clear and present threat.
   
   And I have the right not to support the PRESIDENT (you can't spell the title of your most senior politician/commander in chief correctly?) of the United States of America because I'm an Australian. I didn't vote for the moron in power over here either not that either major party wouldn't love to play America's lapdog anyway, they don't have the balls.
   
   I have a war strategy: none. Iraq wasn't needed. Afghanistan wasn't needed. Bosnia wasn't needed. And the long stream of other places that America has visited/occupied in its history (Philippines, Guatemala, Cuba, etc). In reality Iraq has become open season on the occupying forces. Why go to America to shoot at Americans when they will come to you? Far easier and cheaper.
   
   If you want to do something against terrorism, go invade Northern Ireland where they've had terrorists for year. Or ask the Russians if they want a hand with their long term terrorist issues.
   
   Antiwar may not always be the answer but going around the world proking people isn't the answer either.

   Perhaps you mean 'pentagon'. Heres a statistic for you: Over three thousand Americans have died in Iraq since the war began (http://www.antiwar.com/casualties/). That means George W Bush God Bless his Soul has sent more great Americans to their deaths than what those 19 suicide bombers achieved. Who is the greater terrorist?
