Editor,

Is the United States still hunting for 9/11 conspirator Osama Bin Laden in its "war on terror?" After the United States failed to find Bin Laden in Afghanistan and weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, we, the American people, were told that we were fighting for democracy and freedom.

The Islamic-fascist-jihad terrorists didn't take away our freedoms - the U.S. government did. If U.S. troops were protecting and defending the U.S. Constitution, they would bring the U.S. government to justice. All they are defending are puppet regimes in the Islamic states of Afghanistan and Iraq.

After the victory of Hamas in elections in Palestine, the U.S. government did everything it could to ferment civil war in the territory of Palestine. After the election victories of Hezbollah in Lebanon, the U.S. government started supporting al-Qaida extremists to ferment a civil war in Lebanon. Iraq isn't a democracy; it is in a theocratic civil war. The U.S. government is supporting both the Sunnis and Shiites.

If two million refugees and hundreds of thousands dead in the civil war in Darfur is a genocide, what do you call the two million refugees and hundreds of thousands dead in the civil war in Iraq? snip

1. I currently think that America's whole reason to be in Iraq is to...

...keep things unstable (while we build bases and airfields there) so that when the time comes we can take over the Saudi and possibly Kuwaiti oilfields. Maybe it's because I recently read this piece from WaPo: U.S. Mulled Seizing Oil Fields In '73. We're clearly fucking shit up in Iraq just to keep it fucked up and unstable. Buying time with U.S. lives until it's time to drop the other shoe.
