“It was just a free-for-all,” said Marcus Mifflin, 21 “You didn’t get blamed unless someone could be absolutely sure you did something wrong. And that was hard. So things happened. Taxi drivers got shot for no reason. Guys got kidnapped and taken to the bridge and interrogated and dropped off.”

^^^^Thats George Bush's war that was supported by a large % of americans.
A war for "freedom" and "democracy"
A war that created a hellhole and complete chaos. A war that killed over 1,000,000 civilians. A war that created thousands of "new terrosists". People who want revenge for what happened to their country and loved ones by the US army.
It will take them decades to rebuilt, but the psychological pain will take more to heal (if ever). Both on the IRaqi side and the US troops side.
They took 19 year old boys, gave em grenade launchers and M16's and threw em in the battle field after being "trained" playing violent video games.
All that in the name of democracy and freedom....(securing of OIL)
hypocrites
Now they got to deal (at home) with the "monsters" they created.
Take your x-president (GWB) and all his buddies responsible for the war in Iraq and execute them on High Street. They are the worst dictators of the last 50 years. Equal to Hitler.
