Bravo comment: Take a second to think about the literally tens of thousands of Iraqis who have died since we started this war. Now remember that this war was started on false pretenses (lies). Now realize that it has not made you safer. Now ask yourself what the world might be like if we had never allowed this bullshit war to begin with. Thousands of Iraqi children would get to grow up. Thousands of American soldiers, still alive. Trillions of dollars, still in America and out of the hands of war profiteers.
I think we just struck the true motive for all this killing and misery.
