I'm always skeptical of stories like this. Stories with an agenda...either in support or against the war, and I think it's important not to get caught up in the emotional aspect of them. Because the reality of something as big and complicated as our presence in Iraq cannot be summed up in a simple position...for or against. As much as we might want it to be that way. Bad things and good things happen everywhere in all kinds of situations. They don't necessarily on their own adjudge something as being right or wrong.
