perhaps we should listen to more returning troops , maybe???

even though this is a personal blog of amnesty international volunteers and is in no way any sort of official amnesty international blog we should be clear that neither the usa section nor the international organization holds any position for or against nation based armed conflicts...

on its official website http://www.amnesty.org/ it says:

AI is independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion. It does not support or oppose any government or political system, nor does it support or oppose the views of the victims whose rights it seeks to protect. It is concerned solely with the impartial protection of human rights.

and amnesty international cedes the right of a government to carry out an armed action so long as it conducts itself in accordance with the geneva convention and all international treaties related to the conduct of war...

so when it comes to the armed action in iraq amnesty researches, identifies, and reports on human righs violations that occur during the conduct of the war...

therefore rather than listen to any of us talk about how we feel let's listen to some of the returning iraqi war veterans...

peace out <3
