The US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan violate Article 2 of the United Nations Charter as neither Iraq nor Afghanistan presented an acute and imminent threat of war to the United States, the only legally valid basis for war. The illegal wars waged by the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan have cost the lives of thousands of U.S. military personnel, the lives of unknown numbers that are estimated by reliable researchers to total well over a million of people in Iraq and Afghanistan, and squandered U.S. treasury, in vain, that could have been used for human needs.

Are you inciting my rage, or just posting what she said hoping to get a reaction. If you agree with her, that is your entitlement. It does not mean I do. I spent 22 years in the military and I guarantee those things did not happen ON PURPOSE. But his treasonous act put more lives in danger and that wikileaks bastage is as wrong. The ends do not justify the means, and two wrongs do not make a right. I hope he gets life and then some at least, and it would be better if they just found him guilty, gave him 30 minutes to say bye to his Mom and then hung him in the compound square.
