reflect for a moment on the horrendous damage the Iraq invasion

[G_j]

and "war on terror" did not only to Iraq but to the entire world community.

Aggressive war
Renditions,
Torture,
White Phosphorous,
etc...

As a result of our actions human rights violations soared across the globe!

What a shining example of moral authority!
NOT

When will we acknowledge the true scope of these crimes against humanity?
How many dead, broken, maimed, displaced, traumatized human beings, including children?
The numbers are mind numbing.

1. "When will we acknowledge the true scope of these crimes against humanity?"

After many years goes by the U.S might offer up something resembling an apology.

Definitely not until Shrub (and most of the rest) dies.

2. yes.. After all, Henry Kissinger

is still given the red carpet treatment here.

3. Reflect?

No, that's looking back. We only look forward.

We have no long term memory and our short term memory is mighty selective about what it remembers.
