I've no doubt we can find such conditions in Iraq.

There has always been oppressive conditions existing not only in Iraq but the World at large. People of principle are bound to encourage common decency and goodness in spite of that.

A regard for common goodness is not restrictive, it is restorative. Woven into the paradoxes and ironies of our circumstance is awareness that any conduct based solely on the stratagem of material gain or social influence is endowed with benefits, which are balanced by, and occasionally outweighed by corruption. The principle of well being and a regard for common goodness is a strand of purpose also woven through the fabric of humanity.

You may focus your light of awareness where ever you like. However, unless or until you also stand up against injustice and for liberty, your complaint can only be taken as partisan pettiness.

Been to South LA lately? If you like compiling atrocious lists of human injustice, you'll have a quite a party down there.
