The following text is an excerpt from Peter Laufer's new book, "Mission Rejected: U.S. Soldiers Who Say No to Iraq." "'We was going along the Euphrates River,' says Joshua Key, a 27-year-old former U.S. soldier from Oklahoma, detailing a recurring nightmare -- a scene he stumbled on shortly after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003. '...We turned a real sharp right and all I seen was decapitated bodies. The heads laying over here and the bodies over here and U.S. troops in between them. I'm thinking, 'Oh my God, what in the hell happened here? What's caused this? Why in the hell did this happen?' We get out and somebody was screaming, 'We fucking lost it here!' I'm thinking, 'Oh, yes, somebody definitely lost it here.' Joshua says he was ordered to look around for evidence of a firefight, for something to rationalize the beheaded Iraqis. 'I look around just for a few seconds and I don't see anything.' But then he noticed the sight that now triggers his nightmares. 'I see two soldiers kicking the heads around like a soccer ball. I just shut my mouth, walked back, got inside the tank, shut the door, and it was like, I can't be no part of this... Why did it happen? That's just my question: Why did that happen?' He's convinced there was no firefight that led to the beheading orgy -- there were no spent shells to indicate a battle. 'A lot of my friends stayed on the ground, looking to see if there was any shells. There was never no shells, except for what we shot.'"

The greatest truths can be so simple.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "good" war. Howard Zinn, serving in WWII, said he began to question the total goodness of "The Good War."

We start with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, etc. and work our way down to the soldiers who committed these atrocities.
