US invaded Iraq was to control oil suppiles.  All this talk about 'freedom and democracy' is eye wash.  I have explained that in previous posts.

If they had any consideration for Iraqi people do you think they would have resorted to such force to overcome the weak, out of date and fleeing Iraqi army?

And why the use of 'precision bombing' that killed and maimed thousands of innocent people?

And why was Iraq used to test new US weapons that use nuclear waste?

Effect of that will affect the people for deacdes to come.

With no plan to maintain law and order after the illegal invasion of Iraq, is it surprising that Iraq is now infested with fanatics such as that you describe?

Bush want Iraq to be a battle ground, in the hope that 'terrorists' will stay away from US.

And don't forget that Sadam the dictator got into power with the help of US.

Judging by other such regimes that US continue to support, Sadam would still have been power, had he gone along being a puppet of the US.
