Off a dusty street flanked by piles of rubble and bombed-out car skeletons, the Saleh family is rebuilding their home with American aid money they got because three family members were accidentally killed in crossfire between U.S. forces and insurgents.

If the USA is held responsible for wrecking all the infrastructure of Iraq that they did, they would owe a couple of trillion dollars. First they enforced ultrastrick sanctions that caused untold death to innocent persons. Then Bush declared that Sadam had WMDs to justify invading the country and impeded the honest enquiry of the IAEA. They totally destroyed some major cities like Fallujah and now they want the Iraqs to pay for their dumb actions. Where is the world court when it is needed?

Wait a minute… the US government LIED to it’s people to get into an illegal war of aggression, the locals resented it and fought to get us out of their hair and legitimate business while we killed a million (more or less) people, fomented civil war, left toxic dumps of military refuse scattered around their country, and poisoned the place with depleted uranium.
I’d say that Iraq deserves a few trillion… in gold, food, or things that actually have VALUE, not dollars. Iraq is an albatross for the US, not the other way around.
I hope they sell all of their oil to the Chinese and India. The US deserves NOTHING for what they have perpetrated on Iraq.

This is what the allies did to Germany after WW1, how'd that work out for the world. The hubris of the USG in this absurdity is despicable. The USG didn't do this disgusting action with Germany and Japan which were at least somewhat legitimate targets due to WW2. It gets more insane every day with the USG with its nonsense, which is the only sense the USG has. I'm at a loss for words.

I'd lay odds that had the US not ever started these murderous "actions" that these people would still be alive and we wouldn't have had to pay a dime. Sounds like a win win to me.
