Paul,

>Yeah, you're right. We should have just been happy with the status-quo. Maybe if we keep our head down and don't look at them in the face, they won't notice us and they’ll leave us alone. I’m pretty sure if we had just ignored it they would eventually stop killing & torturing their own people. Or they wouldn’t continue to build WMD, or not use them while the world isn’t paying attention.

Sorry, but couldn't understand your point here. I was talking about murdering, bodies blown in pieces, US government concerned in the $$$ of "free Iraq" reconstruction (not to talk in oil), and you're talking about...?

Think you could see that ALL I'm posting here can be backed by BBC News. It's not me that saying that, it's LOTS of witnesses and reporters that are covering that terrible massacre, the US media is hiding from you americans. If you don't trust in the free press of UK, that's fine, keep your own truth.

>I’m sure if the gov’t in Brazil starts killing and torturing people, you’ll want us to leave you alone too.

Yes, we sure would want you to leave us alone! If you knew a single bit of brazilian history you'd know the the brazilian government DID TORTURED AND KILLED brazilian citizens that didn't agree with their regime (that started in 1964 WITH THE HELP OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT), and we could get rid of that regime without ANY HELP FROM THE US GOVERNMENT. That's just FYI.

BTW, YOU (the american government) helped Sadam Hussein to be in charge, like MANY other bloody dictators around the world, that later became "threats" to the US (or you didn't know that, as well?).

Regards,

fernando
