veryrose you are absolutely correct, its much better that 10s of thousands of people were dragged away every year and tortured and murdered by saddams henchmen, and that kurds were gassed by the hundreds and thousands.... way better than it is now.

Where do you get your information?

Nobody is diminishing what horrible conditions exist now in Iraq for anyone, but as another Bush puke reduces the Abu-Ghraib and Iraqi child rape atrocities to media "frenzies", we can see again what sociopathic criminals they really are... And there is little voluntary "sacrifice" from the American military. Most of them take more benefit out of a high-risk job than they would get otherwise.

Its funny listening to people who's only education on what is happening in Iraq is from the liberal bias media - yes its unfortunate that all the news outlets have their own agendas and cannot keep that out of the "news"

But people the American men and women in Iraq are not monsters, they are your friends and neighbors here in the states (that goes for you as well Britons)They are by and large honorable people who are doing the job that both the American AND British government asked them too on behalf of the VAST majority of the people... people nowadays are so short sighted and have such short attention spans that if they dont get immediate results they get angry. Believe me they are doing good, keeping the fight out of our great country. The first time Muslim extremists attack a school full of children (yes that is most likely the next place they will try to attack our country, its been proven historically) and hundreds of childrens corpses are being photographed by the media in body bags (any one remember Breslan, yea it was a training op for Al Qaida to do the same in the USA/GB?)you will remember what Global War on Terror is all about.

Semper Fi

What I'd like to know is, why is it that when someone demands the Bush people be held accountable to their own actions, then all of a sudden that someone is "evil" and "hateful"? Grow up America!

[veryrose]

why is it that no matter how obvious the facts are, like that life under saddam was better in almost every respect than under george bush, in the minds of bush supporters, those facts are always superceded by their god-given right to %u201Ccivilize%u201D the %u201Csand *******%u201D.

i'm an american too and our troops do suck!!!

[veryrose]

someone said, "how dare you people try to make something so terrible out to be about president bush and politics."

why do you think this story saturated the american media, but didn't get much play in iraq, or even in the international press until later? it's because it's bush's political and military propaganda, you dumbsh1t.

Seems I'm not the only one to smell a rat. I'm sorry if I seem sceptical but the US Gov and US Army are not exactly noted for their honesty.

One suggestion. There seems to be quite a bit of finger pointing and violent wishes already. More evil will not turn previous evil into good but actual good deeds- which are different than hateful or condemning words %u2013 will. Peace. jats28

Some of the child victims in the American concentration camps are apparently as young as 14, they have no legal representation, some have been there for 3 years or more and have not been charged or confessed to any crimes despite the torture.

I posted a link from the UN yesterday which concerned the treatment of orphans, the mentally ill etc under the Saddam period from 2001 and apparently they had the best social service, medical care in the Middle East. I do wish Americans would try and stop simply inventing myths simply to try and hide their own guilt. Abu Graib and Guantanamo are not isolated examples and without video evidence made by perverts even those would still be denied today.
Frankly I distrust the US Government to the extent that I suspect this could well be another Jessica Lynch type scam.
