> Iraqi Women and Torture, Rapes and Rumors of Rape

I am an Australian anti-war activist and I believe that I am well informed about the situation in Iraq but I feel deeply shaken by this story.

The Americans have refrained from the use of gas chambers in Iraq but what other differences are there between this occupation and the Nazi occupation and installation of puppet governments in parts of Europe during WWII?

When I hear people saying that they disagreed with the invasion but "we have to stay in Iraq to clean up the damage" I reply: "Did anyone say the Germans had to stay in France and clean up the damage during WWII?"
