created the framework for this barbarity to happen? God!!!!!! It is OUR governments fault that this is happening. Where is the outrage for that? Four main war criminals, bush, cheney, bremer, rice with a little help from sec def rumsfeld. What a sad statement on the Iraqi democracy WE installed. I am outraged. All these women will suffer needlessly because of PNAC ideology and american greed for OIL. Why are we so quiet about the causes of this barbarity? Sad indeed. There is blood and needless suffering on american hands that can never be cleansed. Sick, depraved and sad.
