If it isn't physical violence it is economic violence and regardless of a head being cut off or an old man freezing to death in his home, it is all wrong.
I look at Iraq and what has happened to it over the past 30 years and it is a constant attack and the people of Iraq are just people. Did they ask for any of this? It is generations of people that we have made suffer. The decades of sanctions, the bombing, the invasion, and now actively creating a group of extremists who are chopping people up? This is so bad. What have we done with this absurd war on 'terror'? We know exactly who the terrorists are, can we please lock them up? A nice long trial, with facts and evidence presented. No bodies dumped in the ocean, no drones, just proper rule of law and justice.
