U.S. hypocrisy will bring burdens to 'humanitarians' ^

This quotes say it all "The United States rose to power via the oppression and murder of innocent people and even if it is wrong that Iraq is trying to do the same thing, the United States is the metaphorical pot to Iraq's proverbial kettle."

Excuse me, I need to take a very long break after that...
