1. I too am so ashamed. How could they do that?
Is that how they are showing what democracy and freedom are all about. It's no wonder they want us out of there.

2. Is this what we train our soldiers to do? Good God this is so
shameful. Reminds me of the scene in Dr. Zhivago when Yuri is stripping wood from a fence to warm his occupied home---doesn't it? Dreadful.

3. Such tough guys....
I agree.. we should all be ashamed. It was mean.. it was heartless and it was unnecessary. Thank you GWB for ruining these kids.

5. Abuse of Iraqi civilians
This video needs to be viewed by every single American.  In my
own opinion, the egregious abuse of the Iraqi civilians is but
an expression and outgrowth of George W. Bush's militancy and
his arrogant imposition of U.S. power and will on anything and
everything in sight all over the globe.  Power-mongering
empires eventually cave in on themselves; the crushing of the
car is a metaphor for what is slowly happening to our
so-called civil society.
