I have to say I agree with Effie on this one. I think what has concerned many countries (including my own) is the illegality of the strikes on Iraq. The link between Iraq and al Qaeda is dubious to say the least. It should be said that Australia lost more people in the Bali bombings (proportionally) than America did in 911, yet has not declared war on Indonesia (Australia did join the Coalition of the Willing though).
It will be interesting to see how America handles the situation in Iraq from now on, Hopefully it will be the start of something better for the Iraqis, but does Baghdad need McDonalds or all the other things which are bound to come in now? I heard that America is broadcasting 5 hours of American TV on Iraqi TV already.
I think everyone is and should be pleased at the end of Hussein's regime, and there are now many wonderful opportunities for Iraq, but was the method of removal the right one? I don't think so, there must have been alternatives to war.
