I was a supporter of the war in Iraq even before we went to war. I had wanted to go into Iraq and take out Saddam since Bush 41.

They thought that they would get freedom and all they got was genocide.
Here is a post by Michael J. Totten who is in Iraq reporting on what is going on over there now. He writes about a museum in the Kurdish section of Iraq that documents the genocide of the Kurds.

"Dear Mom and Dad. I am going to be executed by the Baath. I will not see you again."
