Related: About this forumIraq: Decade of Hell
I'm not going to lie, I am terrified by things likes this. Firstly because I remember watching the build up and beginning of this War and buying it all without question and not stopping to question the media spin on it. Now looking back on it, the statistics speak for themselves:
And secondly it terrifies me that despite the truth coming to the surface people still ferociously defend it. With people still able to defend these atrocities and fall blindly for the garbage the media sells, are we still ripe for more of these wars?

(51,550 posts)1. 6 minutes into the 60-minute video I became nauseated.
The numbers of dead and injured is staggering, both on the Iraqi and U.S. sides. It really is too much to bear.

I agree, it is heart-breaking. Come on humanity! You can do better.
