The 20,000,000 soldiers dead in that American sponsored war. De Nada.<BR/><BR/>What do we have to apologize for? Really think about it; Reagan nearly bankrupted the country bankrupting the soviets so MR. Gorbachev could tear down that wall, Don Rumsfeld and Saddam were best friends during those days and the Bushes both father and son sold their souls to the Saudis for millions of dollars.<BR/><BR/>See Erik the American people have paid for the sins of our leaders as they commit them just ask the families of the 3,795 war dead since our victory in Iraq or the 34,000 maimed and wounded soldiers.<BR/><BR/>We do not pay the price for freedom of other peoples we pay for their enslavement to a way of life they didn't want and the billions of profits made by these very well planned out and executed moves by our government. <BR/><BR/>This is the price of nationalism before patriotism. If Iraq is the new center of terrorism then no matter the civilian non combatant population we should pull our troops and nuke the fuckers back to the first century, that is the nationalist American way.<BR/><BR/>Sorry world but you get what you buy from our leaders. Poor you if you can't pay the price of American capitalist colonialism. <BR/><BR/>It's a beautiful system that made the Bush and Reagan families even more wealthier than they were. so what's to apologize for we accomplished their goals with the blood of or children and the breakdown of the middle class.<BR/><BR/>peace<BR/><BR/>TWMthe walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-88359003359113245012007-05-24T14:14:00.000-05:002007-05-24T14:14:00.000-05:00And gasoline is $3.79 or more here in Chicago.And gasoline is $3.79 or more here in Chicago.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-67804933507000105792007-05-24T14:13:00.000-05:002007-05-24T14:13:00.000-05:00That was atrocious, particularly in light of the e...That was atrocious, particularly in light of the excoriation Reagan had given the Soviets over the accidental downing of KAL 007 in 1983. <BR/><BR/>The Iran/Iraq war seems to have faded from the collective memory. A million dead, thousands more maimed. Little-known fact: it was the longest war of the 20th century, clocking in at about 8 years.<BR/><BR/>Good book on the subject: The Longest War: The Iran-Iraq Military Conflict, by Dilip Hiro, an Anglo-Persian journalist.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.com
