Not many of our elected representatives have any backbone at all. Challenging our actions during wartime is almost certain to result in a loss at the next election, but you would think at least a few of them would have the courage to do it.

250,000 citizens of Fallujah. 75% in refugee camps. 1, 2, 3K (who the heck knows) resistance fighters probably 90% of whom are Iraqis. Those remaining are too poor, too old, too sick to flee. Nice, eh? Najaf, Fallujah, et al reduced to rubble. The US taxpaying wage earner and family pays for destruction and 10 times the necessary cost for rebuilding it. I still can't get over the image of that one year old in the hospital with his leg amputated and his mother greviously wounded with him. Yep, they look like dangerous insurgents. This is the stupidity of Bush: Iraqis who were on our side have had their lives demolished by US. Bremmer went in and disbanded the army and the government telling people that they: 1. had no future in their own country, 2. lost the pensions they had worked a lifetime for and 3. had better love being second class citizens from here on out. Yep that works. The US looks monstrous and in living color. What has happened to our country?
