This crazy, arrogant, mega-low-maniacal, morons who are trying to grab and squeeze the last drop of oil out of Iraq, are creating multi-national populations of damaged souls and broken bodies.
I see a ‘mushroom cloud’ of hate spreading across the horizon that will cover all Americans whether they agreed with the war or not. No casualty really believes the American public is innocent, because this administration hides behind “the will of the American people” to do anything it wants. The “will of the American people” no longer exists … The more Americans are hated, the more King George claims “we are making PROGRESS”!

Have you read much on the back issues of Baghdad Burning ? There was an Iraqi rediscovery of their history that would open American eyes as well ! Bad as BushCo are – and they are stellar – they are still only the latest and most unabashed murdering thieves having their bloody parties at others’ expense.

This war on Iraq started with the papa bush regime back in the early ’90’s. If you count all the Iraqis killed over that period by US military action, you get 500,000 to a million killed. If you add the number of Iraqis killed by the economic and other sanctions, The death toll raises further still…

Started with Papa Bush ? Not really. It goes back much farther : Saddam was an American puppet at one time, replacing another ‘failed American choice’, the Shah. And how did he get in ? Yep.
I’ve posted the poop on the destruction of Iraq’s water supply in ‘Intel’ links. As another issue, the Kurds have quietly been carrying out ethnic cleansing on Iraqi Christian pacifists. Those are a side effect of taking out the central government. Info at http://www.aina.org/
