Around the globe, our friends mistrust us, our word is disputed, our intentions are questioned. "We flaunt our superpower status with arrogance," Byrd said, adding: "After war has ended the United States will have to rebuild much more than the country of Iraq. We will have to rebuild America's image around the globe."
This address was given in March 2003 when president Bush declared war on Iraq. This war ignited a myriad of shocking events that should-not-be. As time passes, our memories of war's inhumanities will fade. Then, this will can reflect on the human condition in a country plagued by fear.
