I think the phrase "Anglo-American Aggression in Iraq" makes it pretty clear that this is a biased source.

Does each picture have documentation describing the circumstances of each event? No.

We all know that war is ugly and tragic. What else are you trying to tell us with this link?

That this war is not needed. Enough said.

Yes, that’s basically it. A few years ago I was talking with a coworker about Saddam Hussein. My coworker said something like "I have mixed feelings about the United States being the world’s police force, but in this case, that guy has GOT to go." And I agreed—Hussein is another Hitler and he needed to be toppled. But we’ve achieved that, and now it’s time to gracefully pull out of Iraq. It’s time for the United States to start acting with global responsibility and stop causing the deaths of millions of innocent civilians all over the world simply because it serves our financial interests to do so. Guatemala and El Salvador should have been the end of it.

I have seen no proof that the United States is "causing the deaths of millions of innocent civilians all over the world simply because it serves our financial interests."

Do you need a quick primer on the subject of our foreign policy towards Central America in the twentieth century? A quarter of a million people died in Guatemala and El Salvador for the sake of the United Fruit Company and Ronald Reagan’s Cold War paranoid delusions.
