AM I THE ONLY AMERICAN WHO THINKS THE ADMINISTRATION, ESPECIALLY BUSH AND CHENEY ARE GUILTY OF COMMITTING WAR CRIMES???
THEY LIED THEIR WAY INTO A NEEDLESS WAR OF AGGRESSION AND IT BACKFIRED ON THEM.
WHO IS TO PAY FOR ALL THE AGONY AND DEATH FOISTED ON AMERICA AND IRAQ?
TO ME, IT IS A FAILURE OF SPIRIT AND SOUL TO CAUSE THE THOUSANDS OF DEATHS AND HORRIBLE INJURIES SUFFERED IN THE NAME OF THE USA.
I AM ASHAMED TO SAY I AM AN AMERICAN NOW. I AM SURE MANY OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY. TO ME, THIS IS A SCORE THAT WILL HAVE TO BE ASSESSED BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THE ADMINISTRATION WILL HAVE TO FACE THE FACT THAT THIS WAR OF THEIRS WAS ILLEGAL AND CAUSED THE SUFFERING AND DEATH OF MANY INNOCENT FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS. WHAT A TERRIBLE AND SHOCKING DISREGARD FOR HUMANITY. GRIEF PILED ON GRIEF…FOR WHAT????
