The United States does not belong in Iraq and should immediately withdraw.  US intervention in Iraq only brings death & destruction, while perpetuating imperialism and propping up a puppet dictatorship.

The torture of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers, made famous by the 'torturegate' scandal, is not an isolated incidence but part of something larger. The US is rebuilding Saddam's old dictatorship, but with new people (subordinated to Washington) on top.

Bush claims to be combating terrorism while sponsoring it, launched an imperialist war of aggression against Iraq, and is waging a class war in favor of the rich. It is not merely Bush's whim that brings these policies about, but the way American society is set up.
