Yes. Sad for the US.

Iraq and Afghanistan are/were HUGE mistakes. Many of us knew this before a single bomb was dropped! We screamed in the streets, write scathing letters to newspaper editors. But. The mainstream news media was entirely complicit.

Many thanks, Robert!

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Rice, Powell, (the list goes on), should all face criminal prosecution - first in US courts and if necessary, at the Hague. Indictments ranging from lying to Congress, deliberately misleading the press and public, graft and bribery with respect to defense contractors and retired "advisers" from the US military brass, wrongful death (pertaining to all US personnel killed or maimed in the Iraq/Afghanistan fiascoes). The endless stream of legal shenanigans from "Homeland Security" color-coded "alerts", brazen justification for torture both on and off US soil, and repeated and flagrant manufacture of false "evidence" - perhaps most egregiously, the pretense that WMD programs both existed and were in rapid proliferation.
