How The U.S. Murdered a City (Falluja)
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article8093.htm

<snippit>
In some places we found bodies of fighters, dressed in black and with ammunition belts.

But in most of the houses, the bodies were of civilians. Many were dressed in housecoats, many of the women were not veiled-meaning there were no men other than family members in the house. There were no weapons, no spent cartridges.

It became clear to us that we were witnessing the aftermath of a massacre, the cold-blooded butchery of helpless and defenceless civilians.

Nobody knows how many died. The occupation forces are now bulldozing the neighbourhoods to cover up their crime. What happened in Fallujah was an act of barbarity. The whole world must be told the truth.

and what politicians are responsible.

Fight To Survive
this site is the mouthpiece for a group of soldiers who are fighting in a war they oppose for a president they didn't elect while the petrochemical complex turns the blood of their fallen comrades into oil

And as always, the artillery—some rounds were high explosive, some were illumination rounds, some were reported as being white phosphorus (the modern day napalm).

9. opposite effect garnered
it's emboldening the dissidents, and leading Russia, China, Europe, and now the Iranian-Syrian "common front" to re-align their economies (shift to the Euro) and their military alliances (Russo-Sino military alliance that will hold wargames in 2006).

Bush has provoked the world into resistance.

5. This will live with America forever. It reminded me of the books
I read, about Germany, when Hitler desecrated the Jews. How familiar these stories sound. These stories need to get out in America. Sure the republicans and the Christian people won't believe it and continue to worship this murder we have as our president, but it needs to be shown,, and heard, loud and clear.

We are living with a madman in control, and if America don't act now, we will be forever doomed to hatred and despise in the world.

10. i'm sorry...
i like your logo...love the message "we can"...but...am I the only one that finds it...uninspiring (to put it nicely) to be represented by a Donkey?

Donkeys and Elephants...those are the symbols of the two major parties of the most "civilized" Western nation?

I say we dispense with the Donkey...adopt the symbol of a Shining City Upon a Hill...the ideal of America that we always were preached about...but never actually has occured.

There is NO good excuse for this - unless he really is a killer Ape.
