Dear Editor,
Your two recent editorials (SN Apr 1, 2) rightly draw attention to the catastrophic consequences of the U.S.-led war in Iraq and the implications for the U.S presidential election. Not only did America and its allies who participated in the invasion suffer from the war, so too did innocent Iraqis who the Bush Administration said would benefit from the war. As it turned out, half of the Iraqi population have been dislocated, over a hundred thousand were killed according to private estimates and hundreds of thousands more injured.
