We never forget about Abu Ghraib, these crimes are like Holocaust, 1,300,000 people were murdered, 600,000 disappeared in american prisons - this is Holocaust.

invading, bombing and torturing thirdworld countries... aye Americans truly are a greatest nation lol

The torture was authorized by the highest levels of government but it was these animals that staged and inflicted the acts and they are not victims of anyone. Karpinski is as sick as her soldiers to makes such statements.

I imagine the Iraqi people live in the most fear of all- as civilians in a war zone. I haven't seen evidence of them systematically torturing Americans. These pictures don't convey any "fear as far as the soldiers are concerned. More likely they're a bunch of entitled American bigots which would explain the joyous amusement of the pointing and the laughing at tormented Iraqis.

I completely resent Karpinski's comments- I don't accept that the soldiers responsible were just pawns in this event whose major crime was being "ill equipped" or suffering the effects of " fear" or "anguish". It is beyond outrageous for her to make excuses for these savages. I don't see "fear" and anguish as reasonable excuses in this case especially not by soldiers of the "greatest nation on earth".

CAN YOU SAY NATSI PARTY

As an American citizen I can say the Bush years (including the father) have not been our best years. It's been one embarrassment after another. Thanks to Botero for making us remember these dark years forever. Remember these paintings are not just about America. They're about fascism, intolerance, stupidity, ethnocentrism, cruelty and a sense of insecurity--these qualities have no nationality--and could happen in your home town tomorrow.

I respect Botero as an artist because he has a genuine opinion he wishes to express, not like other financially successful artists he's been compared to like Thomas Kinkade who just says "Here's another fucking cottage".

There is no actual government. Only people. The government is the people who say they are the government. People in disguised authority of a government have sought this power because they want to rule. Rarely the motive is of benevolent nature.
