What's good about US being in Iraq?

Let's see

Nothing

Or our new understanding of the Geneva Convention.

We now know that our treatment of prisoners is in violation of the GC

We do know now that our treatment of civilians is in......

We knew that when we left cultural instructions (libraries & museums) to be looted is in ......Br>
We think that we can dance around the issue of the prisoners in Cuba & explain away our logic but again we are in .......

We found out the not keeping track of deaths & injuries of civilians is again in violation of the Geneva Convention

The world knows what the US thinks of them. It's the same way we think of the UN, we don't need or want you we can do it on our own but when we've done it we want you all to help with the clean up & the bills

WE know now that the presence of terrorists training camps with in the boundaries is cause for enough for the US to invade. But because we have the same terrorist camps here (see Pete Seeger & the protests against the training of Latin American soldiers) in the US it's ok because we will not implode & invade ourselves & none one else will invade us either with the exception of maybe some other terrorist groups or societies.

We also know but won't admit to the use of the media & how the reporting is totally one sided in favor of the invader & the right to know or the right of free speech for the press & the citizens is only a fleeting memory.

We do know for sure that the use of cluster bombs, though not yet completely outlawed, does continue to maim & kill civilians for generation's after.

We do know that we think that mass murder is acceptable if it can be covered up & that we don't have to account for it as long as we can make it go away (sorry that was Afghanistan not Iraq's prison uprising) again mass murder is in violation of the Geneva Convention, who'd of thought that up. This maybe a reason for not joining the World Court.

We also know the opinion & stance of the US when it comes to consideration of what the world human rights commission & amnesty
international has to say & claim, a bit like when the UN has a vote or something to say.

We are finding out that a repeat of Viet Nam don't work better just because we've been down the same road before.

We know now that questioning the government policy is un-American & that passing a 1 or 2 acts insures that all citizens will continue to be Patriots. I'm sure the list alot longer about the good that has come out of the invasion & occupation & that others could add far more to this than I but to get a view of the bad that has come of all this might be a bit more of a challenge.
