The U.S. has become the greatest purveyor of violence in the world in terms of how it conducts foreign policy in the Middle East.

The ritual bombing of Iraq, in which civilians were reported injured and killed, has cast America in the role of bully and instigator.

The world knows that the U.S. has used its influence in the United Nations to conduct a low-level war against Iraq, which continues 10 years after the Gulf War.

Our reliance on military solutions to resolve problems in the Middle East will only serve to heighten tension and instability in the region.

This could lead to further acts of terrorism against the U.S. and its allies.
