Everyone is happy for the Iraqis. But there's a bit of confusion there. Millions more people are crushed and killed in other parts of the world than were in Iraq.

Few in this country and no one in the rest of the world believes Bush went to war for humanitarian reasons.

And it is becoming clear any sort of immediate threat to US security was cobbled from forged documents and deliberately misinterpreted intel.

These reasons are among those invented after the fact. What makes it more disgusting is the pornographic descriptions of suffering served up whenever an emotional result is needed, rather than the facts of regimes in Africa, Asia and eastern Europe, where millions more people could be saved with American help.

Notice no accountability is being offered by these emotional staged presentations at mass graves. Do the folks at DOD make accurate reports and estimates of numbers killed, who they were, how they were dispatched? Absolutely. Do they release any numbers? Absolutely nothing official. This would allow the possibility of accountability. These decisions to release only emotional claims, and never substantive official estimates are purely civilian and are for purely political reasons, not military.

It is certain many thousands were killed. How, when and who remains among the long list of unaccountable facts.
