Finally.
“It’s impossible to know with certainty the number of Iraqis who have died in Iraq since 2003. But the independent public database Iraq Body Count has compiled reports of more than 150,000 between the invasion and October 2010, with four out of five dead being civilians.”
When you consider the alleged reasons we waged war (Colin Powells UN presentation based on the testimony of a single cab driver who the intelligence community didn’t even believe and would later to having lied) the subsequent realisation of there having been no WMDs and how those leaders who made the decision are now free to do book tours and live in wealth, it’s hard to stomach this war. Wrap it around a flag and say the word ‘freedom’ a few times and we forget about it and struggle to answer why there is so much resentment in that region towards us.
