I'm halfway through the book after buying it a week ago, and it's tough to put down to do my homework! This book is an amazing and terrible story about what real Iraqis are suffering as my country destroys it through negligence and hired thugs; not to mention the actual military.
I'm tired of Petraeus and other Bush Goons telling me about how the war is going; I want to hear what the people we're "liberating" have to say about it. And they don't have very much good to say; Bechtel, for example, was supposed to install water treatment plants and pumps in a dying city, but instead painted houses for the Iraqis! Simply ridiculous.
When a sovereign nation cries out "please leave us alone" and yet we stay and continue to destroy the country house by house and turn a blind eye to the street crime now occurring because our troops are too busy indefinitely-detaining, or executing, any "terrorist" (that is, patriot fighting for a Free Iraq) they come across...who are the true Terrorists? Our government and the thugs they employ.
My thought is - show me a rightwinger and I'll challenge him/her to read any book I pick and I'll read any book they pick. This would be the book I would pick...not that I needed any convincing that Terrorist America is in the wrong in this sickening occupation, but this book could (and hopefully will) convince anyone who reads it!
