I have pictures that unfortunately
cannot be printed in this column; however, there are
serious questions posed by these images.
One is the picture of an Iraqi prisoner with a dog
collar and a leash and wearing only his underwear. Which
is worse, that picture or the picture of the burning
body of an American civilian killed in Iraq by people
from the “Religion of Peace”? Or, the picture of Iraqis
dancing in the street celebrating the murder of four
American civilians by the people of the “Religion of
Peace”? Or the sickening picture of the burned bodies of
four American civilians hanging by ropes from the top of
the steel frame structure of a bridge, again murdered
and on display by the people of the “Religion of Peace”?
Or, finally, the picture of a burned body part of a
murdered American civilian hanging high from a wire that
was put there by the people of the “Religion of Peace”?
Where was the worldwide outrage for these atrocities?
The media did NOT publish them nor did Congress rise to
the occasion and demand justice. Only when those poor,
helpless Iraqi prisoners were mistreated were the cries
heard all over the world. What a pitiful bunch of
hypocrites we have in this country!

Is there a clear mission in Iraq?
No:
This fight against Iraq is based on a lie, a lie that
has changed since the beginning of this conflict. Iraq
was never a threat against the United States.
Like most wars, economic considerations took the
forefront in this war to influence the control of the
oil production, to limit the interest of Russia and
France in this vital region, to build a military
powerhouse on Syria’s and Iran’s border for future
strikes.
If you take the one-sided handling of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict out of the equation with
the Muslim world, America had no problem with the Arab
world.
This war is a crime committed by the Bush
administration against international law and should be
brought to the world court. There is no justification
for all the death and suffering of our soldiers and the
Iraqi people for the power play of a few.
