Perhaps one million plus Iraqis were dead due to US actions. Millions of Iraqis became refugees. The horror precipitated by my country affected not only the victims over there, but millions of Americans. We became a divided nation, echoing what occurred during the Vietnam phony war.
Interview with Ángeles Maestro, a former communist deputy of Spain, on how she views the NATO war from a country like Spain, which, like the rest of the European Union, is once again on its knees before U.S. arrogance.
