15. Women and children, men who are not in the Iraqi army, are dying because we chose to invade
Edited on Sun Jun-03-07 05:53 PM by Totally Committed
their country on a lie for their oil. We threw out the Geneva Conventions in favor of torture on these people. Abu Graihb. Guantanamo. Rendition.

Our soldiers are still there in the thousands dying every day because we started a civil war over a lie for that country's oil. Returning veterans cannot get the care they need from the VA. Soldiers there cannot get the body armor they need. Brain injuries and amputations are at a record-high for our men and women in our armed forces.

It most certainly IS genocide. And if it isn't it should be. Or maybe we need a word just for this war, but this war and all the atrocities it has created are crimes against humanity, for sure.
