Lately, abuse by American troops to Iraq hostages is being a big controversy. I was very disappointed at the news. Until now, I believed what US was doing for Iraq was a right thing. Therefore, I was for Japanese self defense force being sent to Iraq for the purpose of its recovery. However, now that such a scandal was revealed, more and more Iraq people started to hate American.
Then, what was the meaning of American people's sacrifice of life and money?? I now don't see any merits at all. Even if some expert says such an abuse occurred under a terrible stress in the war, there is no excuse for that. Terrorism is bad, yes. But now is the time for American to apologize to People in Iraq for what they did to them and withdraw their troop from Iraq. Under such a situation as people in Iraq started to hate Amercian, it is impossible to reconstruct Iraq only by American.

I have a similar opinion. American forces are no longer needed in Iraq.
Terrorists kill many people for their belief, that�s terrorists.
But American forces just kill, abuse Iraqis for fun, I think.
I don�t know what American soldiers did in the torture chamber but the only one thing I can say is nobody wants to kill and be killed.
It�s time to stop the chain of bloody sorrow.
And I think Japanese Self Defense Forces should leave Iraq now.
Iraq do not needs forces, but peace.
