Allamagan Posted July 21, 2006 .....During the 1980’s the U.S. trained, armed and directed ‘death squads’ throughout Central and South America. El Salvador, Guatemala, Chile, Nicaragua and Colombia were amongst the countries who suffered the most. The Latin American experience was also following on from the U.S. first known death squads; those in Vietnam. The Vietnamese death squads were given monthly targets by the CIA to kill. The CIA later admitted that the figure was 1,800 per month to be killed by their trained and directed death squads. Source: aljazeera.com. Click here to read these chilling stories......

General Duke Posted July 22, 2006 ^^^No both sides are killing each other, much like the people of Rawanda killed each other in mass. There is a civil war going on in Iraq, no doubt there are outside powers helping these factions kille and maim each other.. They these factions are the real powers in the country, specialy the Mahdi, Badr and the Sunni AL-Anbar factions. They are filling in the vacumes and they do not trust each other.

Yes, lets be honest about this, it is the shias (with the blessing of americans and Shia ministers in the administration) who started killing (butchering) their own people, especially the Sunnis. Sunnis mainly rejected american involvments and their presence in Iraq and therfore paid the high price. The sunnis too carry out these kind of horrors in retaliation.
