Will The US Government Accept Responsibility For The Slaughter Of Over 1,000,000 Iraqis?
By Michael Schwartz
Historically, the U.S. government has a poor record of acknowledging its responsibility for death and/or destruction of other peoples, beginning with the genocide against Native Americans (never officially acknowledged), continuing through two hundred years of the slave trade and slavery (there has actually been a limp official apology), and culminating in the ongoing refusal to acknowledge one to three million deaths in Vietnam caused by the U.S. attempt to conquer that country.

Did you see this? An Egyptian reporter threw both of his shoes at GWB's head during the news conference in Iraq, today.

BAGHDAD - On an Iraq trip shrouded in secrecy and marred by dissent, President George W. Bush on Sunday hailed progress in the war that defines his presidency and got a size-10 reminder of his unpopularity when a man hurled two shoes at him during a news conference. "This is the end!" shouted the protester, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt. Bush ducked both shoes as they whizzed past his head and landed with a thud against the wall behind him. "It was a size 10," Bush joked later. |

Good catch FarSeer, at least we know that Bush has good reflexes.
In the other front it seems that the US is dragging its feet to leave Iraq by 2011. Just imagine when we started this Thread we were wondering if they would be out by 2006!
