As I type this, innocent people in Iraq are killed. That is not the past.
But it's not the Americans' fault what's happening. Do you think that the soldiers fighting out there want to fight? You say that innocent people in Iraq are dieing, well the American soldiers are innocent, they are people, and they are also in Iraq. What started this was not the Americans. It was a not-so-nice man who wants power more than anything else. Maybe Bush issued war, but it was going to start anyways. Whether Americans started it or not, it would have come. So let's please not fight about this. It is the past, because there isn't anymore we can do. It started already.
