Interestingly not a mention of the death toll of the Iraqi peoples - I suppose only the pain of the aggressors are worthy of notice. Not to mention the displaced homeless misery of the several millions of humans that the direct actions of the reckless US government has cast upon the many innocents of that people, is not worth mentioning.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
