The citizenry of any country have the OBLIGATION to remove dispicable despots and tyrannts from office prior to things like this happening.....the people of Iraq have let this situation go on for way too long IMO. I hate to see good people die, but it goes to show you what can happen when the citizenry do not take matters into their own hands long ago. Remember, a victim is only a victim if they choose to be so.

Please remember, the Patriots who founded OUR country were also breaking the laws of England when they did so, and also put their lives in danger by acting according to their principals. If you are a lover of history, as I am, you would have learned that Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Madison, Monroe, Hamilton, Morris, etc. were all looking over their shoulders when they were "revolting" against an oppreseive government knowing full well that if they were caught, they would have been hunged as traitors against the King.

So, I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of an innocent life, but was the life really that innocent if it allowed this situation to go on for so long without doing anything about it? Anactodal stories are not enough to say this war is not just nor something that shouldn't be done.
