More then 1,000,000 Iraqis have died since the U.S. invaded in 2003.

More than one million Iraqis have died as a result of the conflict in their country since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, according to research conducted by one of Britain's leading polling groups.

The survey, conducted by Opinion Research Business (ORB) with 2,414 adults in face-to-face interviews, found that 20 percent of people had had at least one death in their household as a result of the conflict, rather than natural causes.

So our government decides to attack Iraq because of supposed WMD's (Which turns out to be false), and the fact that Saddam has killed 5,000 of his own people in 1988 (Which also is likely a false accusation). And in 2002, before the war even began, we started bombing Iraq in secret nine months before the official invasion. There is simply no telling how many inocent Iraqis died in those attacks.

And now we learn that our military has slaughtered over a million innocent Iraqis. Where is the outrage? How can there be any support for this President remaining?

And how can there be any support for a Presidential candidate who does not condemn this war? Who supports John McCain? Mitt Romney? Even Mike Huckabee? None of these men has shown the moral fiber to stand up against this illegal, unnecessary war. They simply use the Bush administration talking points to provide cover while they struggle to gain the most important political office in the world.

As a nation we should be ashamed. As a supporter of any Republican Presidential candidate you should feel so crippled by shame that you are rendered incapable of showing your face in public.
