Haditha evidence implicates Marines, but if war drives people
crazy and when the powers that be start wars; then who is really the guilty party? Bush should be held responsible for subjecting our troops to such a high level of stress, for no good reason, that did and will continue to cause this type of mental breakdown. This also points out the logic of Clarence Darrow who advocated "Hate the crime not the criminal". I advocate limiting most leaders to sacrificing toy soldiers only. If they must, let them make soldiers out of clay and bury them with out bloodshed, like the Chinese did.

1. Re: " Bush should be held responsible for subjecting our troops to . . . "
" . . . such a high level of stress . . . " I saw recently on PBS's The Fog of War that the average American military during WWII saw 40 days of combat a year, compared to 240 days a year for Viet Nam vets. I Wonder what the average is for Bush's War.
