ferom .... Chuck Fager Here’s a sad and ominous piece on the massive and pointless destruction wreaked on Iraq by the US-UK wars, by a Palestinian-American journalist., Ramzy Baroud. He also points out that this process of destruction is not over, despite the withdrawal of US combat troops. A short quote; but read it all: "The fact remains, however that the US and Britain had jointly destroyed modern Iraq and no amount of remorse or apology - not that any was offered to begin with - will alter this fact. Iraq’s former colonial masters and its new ones lacked any legal or moral ground for invading the sanctions-devastated country. They also lacked any sense of mercy as they destroyed a generation and set the stage for a future conflict that promises to be as bloody as the past.. . . "Caught between bitter sectarianism, extremism, the power-hungry, wealth amassing elites, regional power players, western interests and a very violent war legacy, the Iraqi people are suffering beyond the ability of sheer political analyses or statistics to capture their anguish. The proud nation of impressive human potential and remarkable economic prospects has been torn to shreds." tripolipost/articledetail.asp?c=5&i=9892
