Iraq's oil production was nationalised in 1973. Oil revenue accounts for over 70% of Iraq's GDP & 95% of government revenue. The idea that Iraq's oil wealth should go to foreign oil corporations is extremely unpopular in war-devastated & impoverished Iraq

Malalai Joya: "it is almost as if the Taliban was still in power. After the war, the U.S. brought to power these misogynist warlords called the Northern Alliance, who are just like the Taliban. These were the same people who ruled between 1992 and 1996".

Eric Ruder & Trey Kindlinger (of Iraq Veterans Against the War), look at the context of the tragedy at Fort Hood. It's important to remember that for millions of people throughout the world, there is grief at the carnage the US military causes everyday.
