Tragedy and war crimes in Iraq
Permalink +Sat, Apr 10, 2004, 12:18 am // John Servais
You will not learn the full truth about this week in Iraq for many years - if the US military has its way. Our troops are causing unspeakable horrors to the Iraqi people. You must read the foreign press reports. The War and Peace links alongside.What must we do? Should or might do? Tell our elected representatives - Larsen, Murray, Cantwell - to speak out against the insanity. They can help stop our country from becoming the most-hated country in the world since Nazi Germany. Hell, I don't expect my words to do anything. But I will be able to look back later and answer those who will say "who would have known?" I know - and you know - and we are common citizens. Our leaders are deer frozen in headlights.

My right-wing friends, who worship Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, have so much to be proud of. Wednesday he made a speech in which he praised the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Of course he had his SS guards physically harass reporters and confiscate recorders. Ahh yes - the very same fellow who violated the constitution and installed George the usurper into office as president. And we think we are entitled to tell Iraq what kind of government they should have?
