thank you for showing us our arrogance, and ignorance. By the Fall of 2004,
I recall a public radio report on a proffessors’ work in getting an accurate count of civilian deaths in Iraq, since the Pentagon was saying, ‘That’s not our job’. I thought it was a Princeton study, anyway it was already very well firmed up at around 1,000,000 deaths in a very well documented, and proven method, with even articulate detail to any deviation. Then all of a sudden the US media had more accurate figures of 30,000 to 35,000 deaths from the White House somehow, from a Secretary of War who did not want his troops to be bothered counting any civilian deaths. The truth be known, I think, the Bath Party since the early sixties held that country together, even though the US was picking on them then too. The provincial leader, Saddam Hussein had to rule that land (carved up by ol’ Lawrence of A.) with an iron fist, similar to Tito in Yugoslavia post WWII till his death in 1980. I hope digital TV fails in the US next month, so Americans have time to figure out how to pull their heads out of there asses.

but OK, we will see in 1 Freidman Unit (6mo).

Bush/Cheney/Obama wars and occupations

I know BO was given a world of hurt when he took office, but if in 6 months he has not announced the withdrawal of Iraq and Afghanistan and the closure of Quantonimo then I also will refer to those wars as you did.

Our horizon is not the end of the world

.

If only every human in the world could learn this one line and its full meaning – - to the extent possible.

Thank you for your work, Mr. Todenhofer.

The next step is up to us.

I wonder, is the next step as easy as voting Democrat, even when they continue the horrific policies that are taking such a terrible human toll in the occupied lands?

maybe the victims of the Bush/Cheney/Obama wars and occupations deserve harder choices from us, beginning with our withdrawing support from any politician who continues these crimes against peace?

same thing I’ve been saying for years, and events are doing nothing but bearing me out.

We can never undo what we we done. I continue to hope that we can one day learn how to share the world with “our brothers and sisters in humanity” as some friends from Iraq have expressed it.

And acknowledging what we have done and demanding prosecutions is the first step.

Thank you for joining us today and for your work in the world.

And thanks again to Siun and Bev for their work.
