Unleashing Hell

7/25/2007

Is there anybody out there who understands that we have unleashed a nightmare for the Iraqi people by what we have done in Iraq?
As we sit and watch debates about troop surges and report cards, Iraq has turned into a living hell.
Over four million refugees, no electricity or clean water or sanitation for the majority of the country, hundreds of thousands dead, most of the doctors have left the country, rampant unemployment, millions wounded, and millions of Iraqi children who will deal with mental illness from severe childhood trauma.
And what about the hell we have put upon the soldiers and families who have paid the price in this war? What about the child who will suffer emotionally because his father cannot be there for him because his father is battling Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Traumatic Brain Injury? These poor people and their families to come will suffer from this trauma.
For what.
For Weapons of Mass Destruction that never existed and ties to Al-Qaeda that never existed either.
Yet, the people who sold us this war are not held accountable.
The corporations are in control and they want access to that oil. These corporations own the media and employ the people who read these submissions. They don't have the decency to print an essay like this one because they fear the wrath of their corporate masters.
I hope the living hell we have unleashed upon these poor people is worth it. I hope maintaining our oil-driven lifestyles is worth it. I hope your lies and corruption in the government/industry/media is worth it.
Is it that easy to look away?.
