This is a story that should never be allowed to fade from memory. Of course it is just part of the larger story of the American Empre at work, is it not? I found it interesting that not long after Negroponte was dispatched to Iraq Iraqi citizens began showing up executed. Same shit different country!
I see a pattern here at work. America is always meddling in other countries fighting some bogey man and 'establishing' democracy but only leaves a legacy of murder and destruction and destabilization in its wake. Perhaps this is what is intended? Such a strategy usually puts a strong puppet government subject to US policies in power with the possibility that eventually civil dissatisfaction will necesstate further intervention (and arms sales, etc.) at some point in the future.
Meanwhile the US gets its way and keeps a troublesome region in subjugation. The cost of Empire.
