Thanks to President George Bush, his collaborators, their shills in the media, and those who voted for Bush or supported the invasion of Iraq, the Gini is out of the bottle and cannot be put back. What have these people brought forth, and what are the consequences for the United States?

First, look at some of the consequences that they made possible:

*  Reportedly, several hundred thousand Iraq men, women, children, and babies have been brutally killed.

* Thousands of Iraqis have been severely injured, including children and babies with limbs ripped off, or horribly burned. Similar to what the U.S. invasion of Vietnam did to the Vietnamese.

* A bustling country that had taken decades to develop has been turned into rubble. Where there were once bustling cities, there is now rubble.

* Worldwide hatred for Americans has escalated, the consequences of which have yet to be felt by the average indifferent person in the United States.

* Buildup of an army of people wanting to kill Americans, probably unprecedented in world history.

* Incurring huge financial debt that so far has avoided a financial depression that wll make the depression of the 1930s look like child's play. With it will come massive insurrection in the United States.

* Several thousand American military and civilian people have been killed, and over 20,000 wounded, some badly burned, some with limbs missing, all of whom will be soon forgotten.

* Direct and indirect cost for Americans exceeding $1trillion.

* Danger of starting World War III, with missiles reining down upon U.S.cities.

The following are a few examples of the tens of thousands of victims resulting from the actions of a large segment of people in the United States:







 Among the Various Types of Attacks Upon U.S. Interests As the Invasion Continues

* Surface-to-air missiles shooting down U.S. aircraft all over the world, plunging the U.S. aviation industry into bankruptcy.

* Suitcase nuclear bombs exploding in major U.S. cities. Theft of such nuclear suitcase bombs had been described in the book, Defrauding America.

* Shore-to-ship missiles destroying U.S. Navy ships, leaving U.S. military personnel on land isolated and without adequate defense material.

* Russia, with thousands of nuclear missiles, and China, with its increasing military arsenals, recognizing the need to arm itself for an eventual conflict with the United States.

* Foreign countries pulling their funds out of the United States, plunging the country into a depression, followed by massive personal chaos.
Again, the 21st Century version of "The Ugly American" is appropriate: "Those Ugly American: 20th & 21st Centuries.
