The figure I got was from The Weekly Standard, which is a Conservative journal. If they ever put up archived editions of their older journals i'll provide the link.
Whether or not the U.S. was in the right in the invasion and removal of Saddam Hussien will be something for historians to decided, but as for me, when someone says they'll do something, they'll do it. Germany had troops stationed in Iraq in order to help maintain order after Saddam was deposed, France pulled support claiming it was the wrong thing to do (but apparantly they have no problem disenfrachising nearly their entire immagrant population) and Germany followed suit. I was a cowardly thing to do. The so called "illegal" thing was done, but they choose not to follow through.
and that is why i have a problem with the German government.
