Destroy Abu Ghraib? Hell No!!

Let's preserve this site as a historical monument for the whole world to see.

A museum that would depict the torture chambers of Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush. Complete with mannequins that depict the likes of Military guards like Lynndie England doing all her antics. Snarling dogs barking at naked Iraqis and then turned loose.

The murder the blood the maimed and the heart break of the loved ones should never be forgotten.

As human beings we should all be ashamed and reminded daily of our weaknesses.

The Holocaust is still alive in the heart and minds of us and the Nazi concentration camps are still alive as historical monuments why not Abu Ahraib?

I think we should plant flowers, hang curtains, stock it with comfort foods and fill it with toys and playground equipment for kids who have lost parents and loved ones.

Hang a rainbow over it and hire the most nurturing Iraqi men and women to run the place.

It's a structure - only a structure. There are thousands of positive uses for that building, and thousands of reasons to make amends with Iraqi children who need to know America is sorry.

....that's what I would do.

And for godsakes, keep Americans out of there! :-)

Your dream may serve as a peaceful symbol for fifty plus years and then what? I do like your idea.

I feel it should stay. As it will be a reminder for man's inhumanity to man.

The valley is gorgeous right now with Apple Blossoms as far as the eye can see - and the beer fests are getting started, too. Bet you miss it....
:-)

whether we like it or not, it is now a permanent part of Arab history and a permanent symbol of US/Arab relations.

They're right up there with the Nazi death camps and this atrocity must not be erased & forgotten.
