Ex-Iraqi Prisoner: 'I will hate Americans for the rest of my life,'

[leftchick]

can't say as I blame him. A total disregard for ALL Geneva Conventions by the Americans will reap this....



Waleed Abdul Karim 26 , recalls his experience in a prison, in Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday Aug. 29, 2006. Karim recounted how his guards would wield their absolute authority. 'Tell us about the ones who attack Americans in your neighborhood,' he quoted an interrogator as saying, 'or I will keep you in prison for another 50 years.'As with others, Karim's confinement may simply have strengthened support for the anti-U.S. resistance. 'I will hate Americans for the rest of my life,' he said. (AP Photo/Hadi Mizban)

5. A friend of mine from the ME

a Muslim, says it is a common saying across the region and throughout the Islamic sphere of influence:

The night the USA invaded Iraq in March of 2003, a thousand Osamas were born.

[Not Me]

6. Whenever I see the face of an Iraqi mother or father holding

a dead or injured child, I am convinced that we have instilled in this family GENERATIONS of hate toward our land.

The sickening part is that none of it was necessary.
