"Violence raged for a fourth straight day in Baghdad's Sadr City, leaving 20 more Iraqis dead on Wednesday.

At least seven people were killed and 38 others wounded in a mortar attack and gunfire, an Iraqi Interior Ministry official said. Six people died in clashes between U.S. and Iraqi forces and members of the Mehdi Army, the militia of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero, in a speech delivered in May 2005, said that “the colonial invasion of Iraq, and the ugliest of lies of the lie machine that propagated and justified these barbarous acts will forever remain among the greatest and unpardonable crimes against humanity”. The Nuremberg Charter clearly states that initiating a war of aggression is a “supreme international crime.”

Here is the rest

Readers, when the WARS, KILLINGS and OCCUPATIONS stop and these monsters are brought to justice, then I will stop!
