Most of them who was harassing - and accusing everyone who was against the war in Iraq in 2003, should make a public apology to everyone they offended when they made their case for the war.... Most of them should be ashamed about who they supported - as it all was a big, ugly lie - a lie who have devestated not just Iraq - but also most of the Middle east - and who could end up in a whole worse mess than it already is in...

We, who was against the war - in out own way warned about what would came out of the war - destabilized Iraq - maybe the whole continent.. We all warned about the chaos - who started after Iraq was occupied - and who even not americans was willing to stop happening - the british was a good second but it was first and foremost the US who made Iraq the devastating disaster it is today...

But then again - I doubt we will se anyone of them, our co-workers - or nabours in some cases close friends and in to many cases even family - ever apology for what they said - and what they did - even as they are shown to be absolutely in the wrong - in fact they supported something that would have been prosecuted as crimes against humanity if the ideals of the Nuremberg trials still had some benefits to it...

The only thing "we" was wrong about, when it came to war - was how horrible it was in the end - and I doubt anyone of us even fathomed the dept of the catastrophe the arrogant - and painfully stupid policy the US government had when they deiced it was a smart move to destroy Iraq - and destabilize the whole region in the prosess... The former GWB administration have doing more damage to the Middle east - and to the world - that OBL and the islamic extremist was ever able to dream about - and the future in the middle east do not look positive for a long time - as extremist have ben embolden by their relative success in Iraq lately - some of the largest City's in the country is now in their power - and tonnes of weapon - is now in their hand - who would make it more difficult than ever to destroy them - as this is more or less start of the ate weapons - not weapons from the last war in Afghanistan when Soviet was involved....

I think we should stop being polite to the republicans - the neo-cons - and to the former members of the Bush jr administration - and starting making the strong case for making their pay for their crimes - even if it would be a painfully for the Country - it is the only way to really go forward...
