Why some Iraqi hate the US, and some philosophical rambling.
During the gulf war, US and allied bombs killed hundreds of thousand Iraqi. Besides that they bombed the Iraq economy back to the Stone Age. Put yourself in that position, then consider that you would face the same people again after 12 years, but this time they occupy your country instead... Would you be pissed?
I'm not saying that the invasion was wrong, but what is happening now is the prize you will have to pay, no matter how sad and cruel it is. We should grieve for all loss of life no matter the nationality, race, sex or religion.
The "need" to kill people to be able to bring peace is the greatest of humanity's failures.
On a side note:
The text in my signature is an old quotation in Latin and it says "To err is human, to forgive is divine."
We still make errors and still ask the gods for forgiveness. But is there really any salvation for all our sins.
