Some Iraqis have forgiven this country also. Many more are still seeking some kind of legal justice through the courts. And more are joining violent groups to take revenge for the injustices they witnessed.
More consequences of one of the worst decisions made by elected officials in recent history.

We need people who make the right decisions at the right time and who won't need any forgiveness after it is too late.
