Endless war for the US?

We need to wake the fuck up and realize what war is doing to us and to the people we're supposed to be "liberating". Here are some places to get some eye opening visuals about the pure evil of this damn Iraq war:

And here are some pure numbers that may shock some of you:

Number of civilians killed by military intervention in Iraq:
a minimum of 14,591 Iraqi civilians dead, to a max of 16,771 civilians!!!
Think about that - besides the terrible fact that we are approaching 1500 of our soldiers dead, we are responsible for killing about 15,000 Iraqi civilians!!! The only thing we seem to be doing is liberating a lot of them from life...
