Created this mess. Everyone with half a brain was saying sectarian violence would break out in Iraq and cause civil war before we went in. I protested with thousands of people who knew this would happen.

Now that the civil war is happening, the different ethnicities are fighting for control as was predicted, corporate America wants to rewrite history and pretend it wasn't bush who planned to invade Iraq and rip off its oil to enrich his family before he took office.

We should let the corporate sponsors know how we feel.
