The cost of having troops in Iraq
The cost of having troops in Iraq - A letter to the American public

Denmark is a small nation which has a population of 5 million people. Despite our small population we have been active in several countries in peace missions.

Now we have been face with the threat of another nation which wants to take over some of our land. Canada is prepared to invade a small island near Greenland.

Now we are paying the price of our support to your conflict in Iraq. We can not defend our selves as our troops are spread out over the world fighting against terrorism.

The Danish population is chocked but also a little surprised. We do know little about Canada motives for their aggression but have noticed that the aggression could be related to the fact that some part of Canada wants independence because they are speaking some primitive language. Perhaps it is al about concealing some internally problem but we should not be the victim of some domestic politics.

We do know that Greenland is on the road to become an independent nation. We have installed the alcoholic government ourselves. But more than 400 years of Danish role over Greenland gives us some sense of responsibility regarding the outcome of the process.

We do feel trapped. A lot of nations are freebies when it comes to the problem of helping Iraq towards democracy. Perhaps that is why they can spare troops so they can invade our territory.
