Unhappy anniversary

Today, 19 March 2006, is the 3-year anniversary of George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq.

At the time, Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction. Iraq did not pose a threat to the United States. And Iraq did not have ties to al-Qaeda (although it does now, thanks to George W).

Nevertheless, Bush went in and destroyed that country, killed and tortured the people, and called it "liberation".

Today -- 3 years, 248 billion dollars, and 2,318 dead American troops later -- the Iraqi people still do not have jobs, clean water, reliable electricity, or security. This is liberation?

Today, I am embarrassed to be an American.
