More politics
Here's a little fun fact for you:
Iraqis are now getting killed at a rate of 40,000 a year, more than three times the average annual kill-rate of the Saddam years.
So if that's the real reason Bush put us in Iraq, to oust Saddam Hussein and free the people from his murderous reign, he has failed. End of story.
And another little tidbit:
Almost 70% of Iraqis believe that the United States is in their country to control their oil.
They are there as witnesses to all, watching the Halliburton trucks being escorted across the oil fields.
What a joke.

# 8 Canadian civilians have been killed, 1 Red Cross, 1 UN, 1 Christian Children's Fund, 3 contractors, and 2 others
The war makes perfect sense so 3000 people die on 9/11 and we justify it with 60,000+ more deaths.

That's a funny joke.
Just talk to the Veterans for Peace. That was the biggest eye opener for me. They talk about all of the "glory" days they had in the service.
I think we will see a lot more of them come out of Iraq, with the same trauma that happened in the Vietnam era. Unable to hold down jobs, and function normally in society.
