We should ALL apologize for the torture, not just Bush

Its not enough to sit here and say "I told ya' so," or point fingers, 'cuz if I knew all along it was the wrong thing to do,this war, and I didn't do enough to stop it, then I am just as guilty as those troopers in the prison, and our crap president in the white house.

I would like to take this chance to say to the global community and the people of Iraq that I, as a citizen of the United States, have failed you. I am sorry for what I've done.

I am ashamed I sat by and did nothing to stop this.

We will have to fight for this country, literally, to return it to The People.

but I am sure many of us will tell you, we have sent emails, we have screamed at staffers on phones, we have repeteadly told them...

Yes we are ashamed, but many of us have been standing up to them for over a year now.

Hell you know what it is to SEND letters to Congress or post on a freeper site when YOUR HUSBAND is deployed?

Now I ask you to not only say you are sorry.

RIGHT NOW WRITE letters to the paper

WRITE NOW, write letters to Congress

Hell confront a freeper TODAY

I'm not American and I can't know how you feel...but I think you are blaming yourself for something that is not your fault....From the day the election was given to Bush by your Supreme Court, it has been out of your hands....My heart goes out to you, but just hang in there...I feel the Bush government is almost at the end of their line....:loveya:...from a Canadian friend....

and hate it is acceptable here.Look at the dems even vote for anti arab biased immigration laws and always side with israel no matter what. sometimes you let some commets go but i dont any more after i was mistaken for being arab(i am a latina) and some one hurled an ugly racial slur at me for my supposed race. i truly believe abu ghraib was fueled by anti arab racism

This is "democracy" and "justice?"

No wonder they don't want it.

and we can do it. I don't have the skills, but there is a member here by the name of SYMBOLMAN. I've read a lot of his posts and from them I gather that he has a website and he makes flash movies. I was thinking if someone could contact him, maybe we can gather our digital cameras, record our apologies and send them to him, if he is willing to put it together and produce a flash we could to send to middle eastern news stations. We could ask him, the worse he could say is no.

The guards humiliating the prisoners were not under my command.

we pay for them

And some of them blow up innocent kids on purpose. Should we apologize to the survivors of the hamas and PA bombings?

I didn't do it. And I have no sway over those who did it. I can't assume the burden of all that extra "guilt" right now. Too much already on my plate.

Tell them how you feel. Don't let Rumsfeld blow this off again when they meet tomorrow.

Next time I see him, I'll do the same.

I didn't support the war. There was no way any of us or all of us together could stop Bush from invading Iraq. I won't apologize or share any part of "collective guilt."

nt

Let the criminals apologize for it - and really mean it.

I, and most others on this board, have NOTHING to apologize for.
