Basically stems from the Iraq excursion being irrelevant and generated thru greed while many thousands have suffered, will be screwed for life or dead.
The extent of this damage is huge, - in Iraq as a country, the people in Iraq, US military and for the US as a country.
The damage includes extensive contamination of Iraq by DU, people will die from that for many decades to come and at a level which makes the current death rate appear as a grain of sand.
The people of Iraq have suffered more than anyone and continue to suffer daily. Approx 4500 children under the age of five are dying every month from hunger and disease - forgetting those killed. There is no effective medical aid to handle the levels of casualties - they die.
On the US side, the same effects of DU will/are taking the toll on US troops and will do for decades. Tho minor in relation to the deaths, the US economy has been screwed - and will continue to be screwed for, who knows, another five years minimum?
This was a perceived "war" instigated by the idiot brain dead and clueless - no penalty against the initiators would be too great, but that would still not be any level of justice for the Iraqi people or those in the US.
And, yes, the French were right - along with the majority of the world who elected not to get involved with a lump of human waste and his ambitions to have a war in Iraq.
