The second invasion of Iraq is maybe the worst mistake that America could do after the war in Vietnam.
Firstly, this war in Iraq is based on the lies diffused to justify it.

- 1st lie:
It was about the famous mass destruction weapons, claimed as surely stored in Iraqi arsenals by G. W. Bush, Tony Blair and the other puppets of the European Right Parties, like Berlusconi in my Country.

Instead, these arsenals full of biological, atomic and chemical weapons with which Saddam looked ready to threat the world didn't exist and this had already been clearly shown by the UN inspectors since 2002. During the war, continuing still today, in 2009, the US troops, with all their good will, haven't still found anything.

- 2nd lie:
About alleged links between Saddam Hussein's regimen and Islamic terrorists, like the members of Al Queda; also in this case, nothing particular has been found.
These lies had already created a big damage to US policy and image in the M.E. before the war and also to the "epic war against terrorism" that Bush was claiming to lead and that we are all risking to lose, keeping on like this, simply because liars don't find allies when they need them.
These lies have so short legs that yesterday, June 15th, 2009, the English Prime Minister Gordon Brown has announced the beginning of an independent inquiry about the beginning of this war.

Moreover , we must consider the war itself, didn't end after a month in April 2003, but it has been continuing for years in a widespread guerrilla, so that the US troops are not controlling the Country.
Neither the new Iraqi police and Army can do it and both are attacked everyday.
To date (June 13th, 2009):

- 4313 American soldiers have died since the war began (March 19th, 2003).

- Among them, 4174 died after the so-called end of the war, announced by G. W. Bush with his famous words: "Mission accomplished" (May 1st, 2003).

- Since Obama's inauguration (January 20th, 2009), 85 US soldiers have died, 22 in combat. The last US soldier died for an explosion near Samawa, just today, on June 16th, 2009. Also an Iraqi soldier died today and his life was as worth as that of the American soldier, let's not forget it.

- To these dead Americans (young men and women), we must add the devastating number of more than 1 million civilians killed since the beginning of this war by terrorist attacks, mines and American military operations.
This value is uncertain and due to esteems, confirmed by the ORB (Opinion Research Business),
