  •  So many examples of false empathy about Iraq (2+ / 0-)

    We are giving them freeeedom as we take their oil.Bremmer questioned about this said "its ok to do well as we do good"meaning we deserve compensation for freeing the Iraqies...Religious zeal has alot of this going on too.

    •  There aren't words equal to the criminality of... (5+ / 0-)

      ...the Iraq war.

      Especially when one considers that the aggression never really stopped in 1991. We continued "low intensity" bombing of Iraq, and imposed a sanctions regime that probably killed upwards of one million people.

      Add that to the casualties of both "official" wars, and we're directly or indirectly responsible for about 2 million deaths.

      That is staggering.

      When it's suggested that Bush (and others) should be dragged before a war crimes tribunal in chains, it's no exaggeration.
