You're welcome.. I was watching an interview of Noam Chomsky in which the topic of the violence in Iraq (and the wider region in the M.E.) came up, and he had this to say:

"I mentioned Magna Carta which is about 800 years-old, but there's something else which is about 70 years-old, and that's the Nuremberg Trials which is part of the foundation of modern international law, and it defines "AGGRESSION as the "supreme international crime, differing from other war crimes in that it encompasses all of the evil that follows". Now the US/British invasion of Iraq was a textbook example of AGGRESSION, not a question about it. Which means that we're responsible for all that follows, like the bombings. Serious conflict arose, now it's spread all over the region. In fact, the region is being torn to shreds because of this conflict. Well, that's part of "the evil that follows".


-- This little paragraph by Dr. Chomsky basically puts to rest all of the nonsense propaganda about who is truly responsible for all of the mayhem and violence in the Middle East.
