Count Cash, Iraqis will not forget thist; they have good memories. The U.S empire needs these mercenaries more than the human rights and human dignity of the Iraqis but the U.S empire will collapse because these mercenaries will continue to commit more and more war crimes and these war crimes will undo the empire.

Are the Iraqis outraged by all the terrorists killing their people? Blackwater may have saved thousands of lives by taking out SOME TERRORISTS AND EXTREMISTS. War is hell. War is evil, but, left with no choice, somebody has to do it. Otherwise, the world will be ruled by thugs and terrorists and complainers will not be allowed to criticise them {like they ctiticize Blackwater}.
