Iraq is Broken

This is the caption for the photo: "An Iraqi mother, her face covered by the blood of her two policemen sons who were shot dead by gunmen, holds their shoes as she takes part in their funeral procession in Baqouba on Wednesday."

Everytime we see a photo like this, remember, we did this. Iraq is broken, maybe irrevocably, and it's our fault.

Next time little Scottie gets up on his podium and intones about how "freedom is on the march" and how millions of Iraqis are grateful to be able to vote, I'm going to jump through these internets and jam my foot up his ass.

Wow. That makes me cry. Thanks for bringing the reality of this disaster to our attention.

I will never forgive the people responsible for this horrible crime or the ones who voted to let them do it.
