"President Bush's war in Iraq    was sold on lies.  We had neither the need nor the right to invade and occupy Iraq and more than 3,000 American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have paid the highest price for the president's illegal occupation of Iraq.  We are now trapped in a civil war in a distant land with no end in sight."

The Iraq War began by injecting heavy doses of fear into the American public.  This was achieved with false facts, accelerated by a media blitz.

Once the proof was in, that there were no weapons of mass destruction threatening the U.S.A., this misguided effort morphed into Bush's do-gooder war to deliver democracy and freedom to Iraq, and letting these ideals ultimately spread to the entire Middle East.
