Once again, these are not "mistakes." These are intentional acts, and there is "a method to the madness."

At this point, the whole world should know that over a million Iraqi civiliians have died as a result of the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq, and there is an ongoing genocide there. This ongoing genocide is being carried out by U.S. forces, by contracted "killers-for hire" by the U.S. government, by the puppet government that the United States has installed there, and by the the humanitarian crisis that has resulted from the destruction of Iraq.

As of July 2007, Oxfam International reported that eight million Iraqis were in need of emergency aid. In August, an outbreak of Cholera was discovered in northern Iraq. This could lead to a worldwide epidemic. It can also be viewed as biological warfare. As of July of 2007, thirteen million Iraqis did not have adequate drinking water and were therefore at serious risk of death.

The biblically reknown Tigris and Euphrates rivers are completely polluted with human feces and corpses and disease. This humanitarian crisis was intentionally created, and is not a "mistake." This is genocide. Iraq today is an ongoing modern-day holocaust.

America is not the democracy I was raised to believe it is. It is not the democracy I said the "Pledge of Allegiance" to as a child. It is a sham and a disgrace to the world and to the people of the United States where human life has no intrinsic value whatsoever. The United States has become, in the eyes of many people around the world, "the evil empire."

I only hope the world will see the gonocide that is going on in Iraq before it is too late, and I fear it is already too late, because we are not stopping it. The United States must withdraw from Iraq now.

I have been subjected to political surveillance by the Bush administration and harrassed by nosy people from the FBI and foreign intelligence services.
