And have a heapin’ helpin’ of the latest casualty:

America, that is.

Come on in.

Fall under a spell.

Turn your brains off.

American soldiers broke down the doors, detained five consulate staff and took away papers and computers. Iraqi Officials of the Regional Government said that consular activities, such as the issuance of visas, had been carried out by the office staff since 1992. The Independent (UK newspaper) reported that instead of the current captives, the US had hoped to capture the deputy head of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, Mohammed Jafari, and chief of intelligence of the IRGC, General Manuchehr Frouzandeh, who were on an official visit to Iraq to improve co-operation in the area of bilateral security, during which they met the Iraqi President Jalal Talabani. US troops attempted to detain people at the Arbil airport that same day, but Kurdish forces intervened. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said "A massacre was avoided at the last minute.". A US official confirmed that the incident nearly resulted in US and Kurdish allies firing at one another.

Why you ask? Because they have been torturing them in the time they have had them in custody. Imagine what that would tell the world. We kidnapped Iranian Diplomats and have held them for months now and have not allowed anyone to see them or interview them. The Iranians arrested 15 British military whom they say were in their territorial waters. And what did they do to them? I don't know, but they didn't look much worse for wear when they were released. And there were several videos of them talking with their Iranian captors, laughing and joking and looking very well cared for. What does this tell the world. I know what it tells them. The United States has become a terrorist nation and has lost all respect any country could ever have for us. I weep for what we have become.
