The BBC has another story about a group of Sunni men in Baghdad who were arrested by Iraqi Interior Ministry troops - and whose bodies have since been found dumped on the outskirts of town, bearing multiple gunshot wounds.
Is this really what we invaded Iraq for? To replace a government in which death squads kidnapped, tortured and terrorised opponents of the regime with one where exactly the same happens, only to different people?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Unfortunately, it is Iraqis who are now suffering for ours.
My country (New Zealand) did aid in the invasion of Iraq, both directly with token support and indirectly by freeing up US ground forces in Afghanistan.
ReplyDeleteAs to intentions: the ones regarding Iraq are nothing but the control of cheap oil, the ongoing genocide is the "acceptable" cost of that.
no, they tread a fine line, but did NOT invade Iraq. The slippage from a to b is too big even if we're not perfect in all things.
