    The USA should not join in, Kufir

    We replaced Iraqi torture houses with American torture houses, and many of the original Iraqi torture houses continue to operate. And now, under us, life for regular Iraqis is worse than it was under Saddam (jobs, schools, water, food, electricity, in addition to violence).

    If we cannot improve their situation, we need to leave. Let them run their own society. Do not continue to butcher them and add to their misery.
