Well, yeah.. If there's one thought that helps make the whole Iraq/Afghanistan situation slightly less cataclysmicly depressing, it's that Vietnam was even more fucked up, happened with even less of a supposed reason and had been going on for years before a substantial opposition movement developed at home..
Aside from that though, I suppose it almost goes without saying that all manner of messed up stuff is probably happening in Iraq without our knowledge. That's the way 'wars' work. We'll proably find out all the shocking details in 20 years or whatever.
(And the fact that the occupying force doesn't seem all that bothered about publicly breaking human rights guidelines and brutalising journalists doesn't bode well for what they might be getting up to when the cameras are turned off..) |
