27. I still think that if the world were truly outraged at their deaths
their would be more of an effort to reign in American forces with international pressure. Call me idealistic, but I think "where there's a will, there's a way" and I see very little will on behalf of the Iraqi people other than a scattering of organizations.

The US has all but isolated this war from anyone not part of its coalition. And there in lies the tagedy, the rest of the world knows the human loss in Iraq and is not creating more of a public outcry for these atrocities. It is just too reminiscent of 1930's Germany and the isolation of their war machines. The world didn't speak out against it until it was too late.
