196. Thank you, yes. And we could include the half million who died

from the sanctions before the invasion. Also the future generations being born with birth defects from the chemicals rained down on their country.

We never get news from Iraq, but there have been demonstrations there against the policies of the puppet government, Iraqis joining Egyptians and Tunisians, and were met with force also, in the 'democracy' we created, 29 killed by the government, they were unarmed, peaceful, like the others, while hundreds were arrested and taken away to who knows what fate.

I don't know if any effort has been made to help those millions who were displaced to return to their homes. Dahr Jamail has written about them, living in refugee camps, and photographed that part of the disaster. But we don't talk about those things. My cousin had visited Iraq before the invasion. He loved the people, who he said were very welcoming to visitors. He returned about a year ago and said the country is destroyed. It was crime of massive proportions and the perpetrators need to be prosecuted. Maybe some day.
