Well, the final push into Fallujah to reclaim the city and cleanse it of all those resistance "fundamentalists/rebels" is going on with mounting casualty tolls and destruction of civilian infrastructure.
Those poor civilians will suffer the most, especially from the American artillery and air-strikes against military and civilian targets. The American military have commited so many war crimes in Iraq, and more will be done in Fallujah, including the bombing of a hospital, (see previous posting).

It's old news by now that George W. Bush will be the president for another 4 years, for sure there'll be a lot of soul-searching and bitter infighting among the Democratic party faithful over what went wrong and who'll step up to lead them. It's sad that Bush has a lot of supporters and got many votes because of his 'morals' and 'faith', which haven't done any good to the people of Iraq, American soldiers and many thousands of working class Americans. It's obvious that Bush has used or exploited his 'faith' to justify his actions in invading Iraq and sell the occupation and fighting to many Americans, who believe in him and that he's their best protector against terrorism.

This is a fine speech by Arundhati Roy, the famous female Indian author and human-rights activist (though she claims she's not). She made this speech on accepting the Sydney Peace prize, on the danger to justice in the world.
She goes into great detail and clarity on the injustices carried out in Iraq. The corruption, the killings, the flagrant violation of international law in invading a country with false reasons,
the suing for millions by American corporations over 'lost profits' because of the 1991 Gulf War, the tragic effects of the economic sanctions against Iraq in the 90s. This list goes on and on, and shows how much injustice exists today and gives you an idea of why so much hatred exists against the Americans over there.
