Seven years of war against Iraq and the US

Seven years of war                    
against Iraq and the US

We snuffed out 2.2 million Iraqis
and we seem to have a collective yawn.
Maybe it is because they are brown.
Maybe it is because they are Muslim.

As Scott Ritter (former US Marine and Chief Weapons Inspector UNSCOM) points out above, the war against Iraq did not really start seven years ago with Bush - those 2.2 million Iraqis, half a million of them children, were extincted courtesy of Clinton and the UN during the 1990s. But this anniversary of the invasion the Republicans reinvented serves as a good landmark to look back and briefly recount in figures how this latest chapter of imperialist-sponsored tragedy in Iraq has transpired into the historical records.
