was Iraq's business, not the U.S.' . The U.S. administration made a joke of its definition of justice by mocking a trial on Saddam, in which he was practically hanged by a U.S-made CIA agent (Al-Maliqi) for killing his opposers. Saddam was also accused of killing Kurds. Turks are killing the Kurds as well, and have been doing so for decades. What was wrong for Saddam, is right for Turkey, as far as the U.S. regime is concerned, because Turkey is an ally of the U.S.A. As I write these lines, Bush and Erdogan are meeting in Washington, to discuss what means Turkey can use to crush the Kurds in Northern Iraq. It was Bush who, only 4 years ago, said in his pre-attack speeches, that Saddam killed the Kurds and the USA would save them. Need I say more about double standards, fake promises, lies, opportunistic aggressions ?

The Iraqi people never asked the U.S. for any kind of help, neither militarily, nor in any other fashion. George Bush, backed by the corporate-industrial-military complex (axis of evil) decided to attack Iraq, alleging that it had mass destruction weapons and was a threat to the entire world, under the glossy fairy-tale title of "Operation Iraqi Freedom", though not one single Iraqi had called the U.S. for help. I want to remind everybody that his allegations about mass destruction weapons were horrific, inexcusable, and gigantic lies, as the entire world knows now, which lead to the death of over 1 million Iraqis and about 4.000 American troops, who went into a self-inflicted mess, to die. This fact eliminates the discussion whether the U.S. army is entitled to continuance of its violence producing presence in Iraq. As the U.S. military is not entitled to a presence in Iraq, it must leave, regardless of so-called, alleged "regional conflicts" and such. The U.S. military is NOT and has NEVER been entitled to any presence in Iraq, period, and nothing can justify one single U.S. soldier's existence there. Any conflict in that region is the byproduct of this illegal occupation, caused by the U.S. regime. How does the U.S. regime justify the fact that Saddam's alleged dictatorship has been replaced by the U.S.' dictatorship ?

Last, not least, Americans should let go of their obsessive belief that they must police the world. Wherever some kind of unrest develops, whether real or staged (by the CIA, Mossad, or consortium), madame Condoleezza Rice pops up, to "mediate". Nobody is permitted to any actions until and unless Bush, Rice & comrades approve
