We can no longer be blinded by the Cheney/Bush administration's ideological arrogance ~ it's time now for a reality based Iraq policy where we no longer attempt to justify our original lies and deceptions, acknowledge the wish of over 85% of Iraqis and rapidly withdraw our troops and leave: Allen L Roland
The shameless unseen war in Iraq is the thousands of innocent children and civilians who have been killed and maimed by our illegal war and occupation of Iraq ( 655,000 according to Lancet ).
Lamiamh Ali's innocent life wiped out by an illegal American cluster bomb ~ one of thousands dropped into Iraq and also into Lebanon this summer by the Israelis.
Look at this picture closely and let my words sink into your heart.
We are the terrorists, we are the perpetrators of Lamiamh Ali's death and in the process of this illegal war based on lies and deception ~ we have lost our soul and its moorings.
We can no longer be blinded by the Cheney/Bush administration's ideological arrogance ~ it's time now for a reality based Iraq policy where we no longer attempt to justify our original lies and deceptions, acknowledge the wish of over 85% of Iraqis and rapidly withdraw our troops and leave.
Her photo ( Courtesy of Salon ) as well as other victims , including our own, are seldom seen in the American media ~ who have bought into the Bush administration's UNSEEN WAR. But the shocking daily civil strife, caused by this war, is now being seen by the world.
This is why we must stop this unseen war immediately. This is why we must also bring to justice the perpetrators of this monstrous affront to morality ~ and that means Cheney, Bush and Gonzales.
As Paul Craig Roberts, former assistant secretary of the Treasury, says ~ " Mark my words, the future of civil liberty in the U.S. depends on the impeachment and conviction of Bush, Cheney, and Gonzales .. "
