Now that's something that scares the shit out of me.

In my opinion, everyone should have a voice. If were talking about an individual or a country as a whole, it doesn't matter. I don't care what you've done.

In this case, I think it was probably back up the fact that everyone needs a voice. As it stands now, the majority of the world population believes this particluar war was unjustified, and even the majority of Americans believe it was unjustified. BOTH countries are in the wrong. The US for its illegal war, and Iraq for its human rights violations. You can't pick and choose who gets to be heard and who doesn't.

What your saying sounds more like North Korea putting people on trial, the judge coming out and saying "guilty" and the prisoners getting shot all in a matter of 30 seconds than a democratic process to me, which the US claims to be spreading.
