We have killed a million folks in iraq and it is going to take a long time for us to live down our reputation as invaders, tortures or what ever you would have us be called. I am disgusted when america does not act in accordance with the geneva convention, the us constitution etc. I hate the nazi's from the second world war. The lifes styles they had, the shinny black boots etc.oh by the way did I mention the torturing they did? Kind of like us why would anyone hate us? Just because of our life style? not likely just because we torture people? I can think of no better thing for us to do to help terror all over the world, than to torture people.
