This needs to be read

This article is difficult to read, but I wish everyone in the US would read it. All we hear in the news is the "good" that we're doing in Iraq. Anyone with half a brain knows that isn't true. We've occupied the country for three years now, and we've only heard about a very few atrocities of the many that have taken place. This is par for the course with any occupying force, so to think it's any different in Iraq is to fool oneself.
