Iraq War So many bodies were found floating in the Tigris that some Iraqis stopped eating fish, claiming its flavor had changed from nibbling on human flesh. Dead animals were used to conceal roadside bombs. Bodies of dead Iraqis were booby-trapped to blow up relatives who approached them. Mentally disabled children were turned into suicide bombers. Funerals were frequently the target of attacks. The morgues were full of mutilated bodies: If the head was cut off, it was Shia; if the head was drilled through, it was Sunni.

Iraq War When I arrived, one of the questions put to me was, “What do we need to do to be loved?” I told them that people who invaded other people's countries, and killed people who were no threat to them, would never be loved. Emma Sky, political adviser to General Ray Odierno © 2015 Kwiple.com
