The 250,000 of Iraqis who are killed - including babies and children who are shot to death, blown up, or incinerated - remain completely unknown to the American public. So not only is there very little empathy for the suffering of Iraqis, there is virtually no sense among ordinary Americans of a shared responsibility for that suffering. Despite the frequently expressed fantasies expressed by President Bush and some of the leading politicians of both parties, the idea of a U.S. victory in Iraq is an illusion. The nightmarish violence is rising, not receding. Iraq is not being pacified.

I agree with. This is very horrifying and for what? Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, did not have WMD and definitely democracy is not anywhere near Iraq. Not to mention the situation in Guantanamo and the rendition facilities where many are being kept under severe conditions without trials for many years then after the damage is done and they are not fit as human beings, they may be released without charge.

The Iraqi people were better off under Saddam and Americans would have been better off with the billions spent on this needless war, not to mention what these soldiers face upon returning home (if they do) the psychological trauma, the effects of depleted uranium etc.

Thank you for the websites. God bless you I look forward to checking them out and may I recommend this site to you: www.whatreallyhappened.com

The disgrace and contempt belongs to you. Making a mockery of those 250,000 civilians most of which we're killed by insurgents not Americans you idiot; and what you don't realize is those same insurgents would eliminate your right to free speech, your right to espound idiotic liberal views and simply add you to the al queda chopping block.

The idea of a US victory in Iraq is at hand; and the only way we'll lose is if pathetic creatures like yourself and our media can convince the public of this great nation a single car bomb means its time to quit. There are more people murdered in the US daily then die in Iraq daily; but you just don't get it.

You know - everybody is just trying to get along and do what they think is right. We kill, you kill, we kill some more - it has to end somewhere. Most of the people that get killed aren't even playing the game it seems. It's innocent people minding their own business, raising their children. And the killing gets done by people who think there is no other way - it is always a last resort for 85% of humans in the world. Don't you think that is true?

Let me say, that I am truly sorry for all the suffering that goes on that is caused by or because of my country. Peace!

We are instructed by the Noble Constitution to answer back with the word "Peace" when addressed by ignorants, so again: Peace.

I agree with you mostly. But I think insurgents have to take responsibility for the deaths also.
