This is a former Iraqi citizen. He was in Jordan finishing an education to return to Iraq to improve the lives of family and country.
There is no reason for this man to speak out now. He has moved on and his family is spread across the globe. The only reason he volunteers his insight is to bring about the end of the immorality that caused the Iraq invasion by the USA.
His entire family lived within blocks of each other in Iraq and today he no longer lives in Iraq and his family is dispersed throughout the world. Those that could; left. The Iraq people that were educated with some degree of financial means didn't stay in Iraq. The country's brain trust was destroyed along with the war.
Iraq did nothing to the USA. Does everyone stop to realize what a complete and utter crime the USA committed against Iraq? Crimes. The USA engaged in global crimes when there was complete evidence by the United Nations there was nothing to support an invasion of innocent people.
The United States committed crimes. International crimes. When Bush states he was more sickened by the fact there was no evidence of WMD after the invasion, that is not an excuse. Crimes that destroy countries and kill their populous when there is evidence to prove the immorality of the military acts have no excuses.
Why have a United Nations with the capacity to protect all nations from illegal acts of others? If we didn't need such an organization then all we need is a war crimes court for 'after the fact.'
There were countries in the region of Iraq that were at the heart of the Iraq Resolutions that disarmed the potential of Saddam Hussein and set up No Fly Zones. If they brought their concerns, their intelligence before the United Nations as a reason for war, it would have been more the place of the USA to stand with them. That is not what occurred. What occurred in Iraq was pure exploitation of the military prowess of the USA with complete disregard for human life on both sides of the equation.
The Iraq War was minimally human rights abuse for the profits of Wall Street.
