The US launched a colonialist war on false pretenses in an imperial venture which was certain to fail. those officials who launched the invasion are major war criminals responsible for the eeaths of nearly a million iraqis, more thean 4000 us soldiers and the wounding of hundreds of thousands more. The war was driven by needs of US capitalism and global hegemony. justly, the US owes iraq hundredsof billions of dollars in war reparations. instead, the Us fully intends to occupy Iraq for the next 100 years The occupation has vastly increased global terrorism, collapsed the dollar and US economy, and endangered peace both in the Middle East and around the world. it is and unparalleled tragedy which has finally exposed the true nature of US foreign policy to the world and sharrered the benign US image. The American people and the world have the moral responsibility to hold the guilty responsible for their actions.
