Artful Dodger: "That's nonsense."

On the contrary, it is simple demonstrable fact. We invaded Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11, which did not support al-qaeda, and which had not attacked us first. Therefore, we started a war in the backyards of Iraqi citizens.

I watched another speech today, by a U.S. Iraq War veteran. He was a morter-man (sp). He said that in Baghdad not one apartment complex is left unscathed by American morters & plane bombs. He described how he and others were given orders on the ground to murder civilians. The idea was to wage a war of attrition to break the spirit of the Iraqi resistance.

Do you think I make these things up? Do you think the soldier is lying? There are plenty of other soldiers who have spoken out. If I were an Iraqi citizen, I'd be fighting the U.S. occupation tooth-and-nail. And I'd sure as heck prefer to take the fight to American soil, or at least kick the Invader out. Did we "liberate" Iraq? What a joke. No, we brutally subjugated it.

Only willful blindness refuses to see the truth of this matter.
