Well, look at our American friends' fruitable and successful campaign in and against Iraq which has nowadays set this region in complete turmoil and extremist civil war and many hundreds of thousand of civilian deaths (the promised wave of "democratic revolutions" in this region, - where is it, twelve years after?) - thanks for that! A pity this fine Finnish built yacht couldn't survive these totally illegal and uneccesary war crimes.
