  5. THE UNITED STATES IS NOT PREVENTING CIVIL WAR IN IRAQ.<\/li>\n
  6. THE UNITED STATES IS NOT HONORING THOSE WHO DIED BY CONTINUING THE CONFLICT.<\/li>\n
  7. THE UNITED STATES IS NOT REBUILDING IRAQ.<\/li>\n
  8. THE UNITED STATES IS NOT FULFILLING ITS OBLIGATION TO THE IRAQI PEOPLE FOR THE HARM AND SUFFERING IT HAS CAUSED.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
