The US Government has been lying so long I don't believe a word they say about Iraq. How horrible that this bloodshed continues. Get the US out of Iraq and let the people who are for peace come and do some real work towards helping this country. Why I am not shocked?

How many Iraqis AND Americans have been killed in the name of George Bush? What's wrong with this picture: Saddam Hussein in jail and on trial, George Bush still in the White House and on the campaign trail? Guess it's bad when Saddam Hussein does it, but okay when George Bush does. There's really something very wrong with this scenario. Oh right, I forgot, George wears the white hat. That makes it okay.

Not only must one assume that this administartion and all it's servants LIE, it is also easy to predict their actions these days. If a choice is bad, if it will be counterproductive and cause maximum harm and costs, then such a choice beckons to these morons like a siren song. Alwasy assume the worst with these maniacs and you won't often be dissapointed. Those who are asking God to forgive the USA, are being a bit presumptuous. I think you need to stop doing the evil things before asking God to forgive you. While the USA is in the midst of a war of occupation against Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon by proxy, as well as getting Iran and Syria into the gun sights now, it is not the time to be asking or expecting forgiveness. Sadly it has reached the point where many people about the world are wishing for the destruction of the USA and Israel, for otherwise we are all lost. In fact we are praying for the destruction of these two monster states. Sorry to the good people who still live there, but for the sake of the world you may end up as collateral damage. No surprises here!
