Destruction our fault

Re “Remember Desert Storm”: I believe all the U.S. wars in Iraq were fought for corporate empire and nothing more. They were and are a waste of American treasure and lives in pursuit of corporate lucre.

What a tragedy that this newspaper continues to obfuscate to the public about the true nature of this and all current U.S. conflicts abroad. There’s nothing noble or uplifting about incinerating whole families— men, women and children—to ashes inside their own homes.

The people of Iraq have every reason to hate us. We created ISIS by creating a power vacuum there with our military actions. We have destroyed the very cradle of civilization itself in pursuit of corporate lucre.

May God have mercy on us. BRAD BAILEY
