Reply #40: I'm getting more and more disgusted with us...

I say "us", because I'm an American, too. One woman who was interviewed, an R.N. said "These people would tie us up by our fingernails if they could. I'm afraid if we don't scare them to death, they won't get in line."

Excuse me, but get in line for what? We illegally invaded their country. Every reason we gave was false, from WMD to bringing democracy to them. We have bombed and destroyed their country, killed and maimed their people, brought unimaginable hardship and suffering to them, and we think THEY need to get in line?

We are the guilty party in all this. We need to apologize to them, get the hell out of their country, and pay for the damage we've done. I say "us", even though I was adamantly opposed to the war, because as I have already stated, I am an American, and it is my country which is doing this. There is already too much evasion of responsibility going on, for me to add to it.
