i want to be wrong

i pray i am wrong. i want peace in iraq. i don't want kids killed or even innocent civilians (of which there are more than we imagine). i want the market to be safe. i want all of the displaced iraqis to be able to return home. i want women to be able to walk down the street. i want children to go to school each day.

we ruined their country and it isn't back on track yet no matter what they try to tell you. 'WE' are not WINNING
'WE' are directl responsible for this horror
