1. No.
The Bush crime family did it, not America.

2. The photo is heartbreaking. It tells the real truth about how our
'liberation' has benefitted the Iraqi people. Jeez, I feel so guilty and I could almost cry just thinking that we have become a country that could inflict so much pain and suffering on a nation just because we have a bunch of thugs in power who have been planning this for years, and they pulled it off.

3. I agree.

It has given me many sad moments myself.

We should be more advanced in our attitudes toward war going into the 21st Century.

It is not the people who bring wars or terror and hate, they are busy with their everyday life, but the few, greedy, hateful politicans and/or religious leaders. It is they who do this to their country and others.

Axis of Evil: Money/power/greed.
