Wouldn't it be nice if just once in awhile, as commentators (and particularly those like you who know better) rattle off the death toll of U.S. soldiers in the Iraq war, they would just take a line or two to acknowledge the damage we have done to the Iraquis? I feel for the U.S. soldiers (and in my book a life is a life is a life whether it belongs to an 18-year old kid in a soldier's uniform or to any one else) but they are just the teeny tiny tip of the iceberg in terms of people killed, people maimed, and lives and land generally ruined for generations to come as a result of that crime against humanity we have perpetrated.

Well said. I feel such horror that Exxon has been able to get away with this crime against humanity, words cannot adequately express how sad a situation it is. Thank you for not allowing anyone to forget what this company did and that the United States of America has allowed them to get away wih it.
