"...and ALL of them were civilians."

[The Cleaner]

These were the words of an Iraqi ER physician describing the aftermath of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq in the documentary "Why We Fight." Juxtaposed with images of a confident Donald Rumsfeld boasting about super-accurate weapons "never before seen in history," the doctor explains how children, women, and men - all civilians - were the ones who felt the brunt of U.S. weapons of war.

Not shown in the movie, however, I do recall other instances where Rumsfeld stood behind that podium, endlessly bragging about the "humanity" of this war in that the weapons were 100% accurate to their targets, killing only our enemy and destroying only what needed to be destroyed. Later this was proven to be utterly false as set forth in Why We Fight.

Wow...what have we come to. Dropping bombs on a country who never threatened us and who never possessed WMDs and who was not connected to 9/11 OR international terrorism - and calling it HUMANE. Maybe Orwell was right:

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
