A book has been published recently by Iraq Veterans against the War, which documents war crimes committed by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The book, entitled Winter Soldier Iraq and Afghanistan: Eyewitness Accounts of the Occupations, was compiled by Iraq Veterans Against the War and freelance journalist Aaron Glantz whohas covered the Iraq war from the front lines. The English editionwas published in the Spring and the Japanese edition was publishedthis month. Both editions are selling well.
The book shows that well-publicized incidents of American brutality like the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and the massacre of an entire family of Iraqis in the town of Haditha are not the isolated incidents perpetrated by "a few bad apples," as many politicians and military leaders have claimed. They are part of a pattern, the group says, of "an increasingly bloody occupation."

Shah Gholam, Don’t

Don’t worry, this great country called the United States, and its military, has done more than anyone else in the history liberating nations and bringing democracy to them. Examples range from Japan to Germany to Afghanistan and elsewhere. No BS anti U.S propaganda by you or your beloved IRI regime or any Leftist lunatic, or the actions of a few bad apples would change that great legacy.
On the other hand, one day, not one book or report, but countless pages of them, will be published documenting your beloved Fascist regime IRI’s countless crimes against humanity in Iran (including its Basijis raping young women who ask for nothing more than their basic rights) and abroad, its war crimes during Iraq war, its inspirational and material support for Islamic terrorism, and other horrific actions. As matter of fact, they already are coming out.
You are only fooling yourself.
