American attack against Iraq

We again witnessed aggression inflicted by the United States of America and the United Kingdom upon another sovereign country.

As a most concerned U.S. passport holder and a father of U.S. citizens, I am truly disgusted by this latest act of piracy. Even in the case of Iraq, two wrongs do not make a right.

We consider this round of aggression no less than a flagrant act of terrorism, and I feel ashamed to be a citizen of a country which tends to use economic blackmail.

The mighty America should practice what it preaches and stay out of other countries' affairs.

All the fancy and hypocritical accusations about human rights abuses directed at mostly third world countries are pure political hogwash.

America, stay out of other countries' affairs. In my opinion, you are the real terrorists. I am at least thankful of one thing; that at this time I am still allowed to express my opinion, although in the land of freedom, real freedoms are fading away fast. Mind your own business.

To you Mr. Clinton, I hope you and Madeline Albright, along with your group of wizards, and you Mr. Tony Blair, I hope you will receive your own personal justice in due time; in fact you should be placed in front of the international court and be charged as war criminals, in my humble opinion.

I can understand why there have been burning of American flags and, or effigies of American "heroes".

Well, I do not necessarily approve of this because of my respect for those people who gave their lives for this flag, but I wonder if all the military "heroes" who are currently testing new and even more superior American weaponry are a fair match to battle those people who should have the right to decide their own destiny.
