“I wish they would attack us with a nuclear bomb and kill us all...so we will rest and anybody who wants the oil — which is the core of the problem — can come and get it. We can not live this way anymore; we are dying slowly every day.”

The horrible utter hopelessness we have wrought on the Iraqi people.
