Justifying a Bloodbath
Dr. Dahlia Wasfi, an Iraqi-American, addressed the U.S. Congressional Progressive Caucus recently about the dire consequences of the American occupation of her home country. As Dr. Wasfi observed, the American killing field, funded by the U.S. Congress, is an ongoing project to benefit the American oil and war industries at the expense of innocent civilians. With the death count due to the US invasion now standing at 655,000 it is difficult to comprehend even blatantly corrupt members of Congress justifying such a bloodbath for Dick Cheney's investment portfolio alone.
