Haven't we seen enough butchery, slaughter, and bloodshed to learn? Haven't we hurt them enough? When do the Iraqis get freedom from American military occupation? If we can hand over Najaf, why not the rest of Iraq?
We need to get out now.

"It's astounding to consider that for every service member killed, 200 Iraq civilians have been killed....What are the short-term and long-term implications of this massive number of deaths to Iraqi civil society? Will the millions of Iraqi children who have lost a parent ever forgive our country for igniting this violence? How do we make peace with the generations of Iraqis severely harmed by this unnecessary war of choice?"
