GorillaGal, you once again refer to the WAR in Iraq and declare it to be over, I once again declare that the onset of conflict there does not qualify for such a distinction.
War is a period of fighting between two opposing forces in which people are killed as a result of failure to come to an agreement by peaceful means,
Murder is the deliberate and unlawful killing of a person, mass murder is the deliberate and unlawful killing of many.
Bullying is easily recognized as any act which subjects a weaker force to the power of a greater one.
I think Murder and Bullying are apt words to describe what took place in Iraq initially.
I think we could also add Cowardly to those two descriptions since the recipients of your country's gifts, (in the form of bombs dropped from high altitude) were totally defenceless.
What is now taking place in Iraq can only be described as 'resistance' to the 'aggressors' and they too are aptly chosen descriptions under the circumstances.
The problems now facing Iraq are undeniably the creation of your country's Cowardly Murderous Bullying attack, there IS no justification for it and that has been PROVEN beyond any doubt.
The devastation and consequent unrest in Iraq is the sole responsibility of your country, the awful acts of the suicide bombers are the result of your country's aggression since they are rooted from it.
Whatever the outcome of the internal conflicts, whatever horrors stem from it, your country are the perpetrators, no amount of rhetoric will wash the blood of the thousands of innocent men, women and children from your nations hands, I have been there, I have seen it, I have wept with those people.
