What will it take for all to see that this "war" on a crippled nation -bombed for over 10 yrs daily, segmented into 3 zones with kurdish area functionally autonomous cia agents throughout shia areas, was NEVER a real threat to US security?

The only threat was to US domination of oil region and the need for bases in area to protect strategic oil reserves and damper on anti-Israel action. Interesting the war needed to happen not so much after 9/11 as after political situation made meaningful bases in Saudi Arabia impossible.

War is organized violence and often efficient violence to attain political goals-the rest is illusion.

The photos of women dominating men through sexual torture/violence will strike to the core of the muslim world view that america represents the greatest evil to their view of life imaginable.

When will the arrogance stop? Before or after what is left of our constitutional republic (once the greatest force for good the world had ever known) is completely finished? See rise and fall of roman empire for surprisingly similar story of republican demise and decadent military dictatorship born....
