43 Dead Iraqis Today. Here is One. *warning graphic*

I believe if most US citizens viewed the yahoo photo gallery of Iraq daily for one week their views on Iraq would change dramatically. Also the notion of them being "free and democratic". Bullshit...



An Iraqi boy looks at the body of a dead civilian at a local hospital in the northern Iraqi city of Samarra. At least 23 people were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up in a busy kebab restaurant near Baghdad's Green Zone, one of a string of attacks across the country that claimed a total of 43 lives.(AFP/Dia Hamid)

Think of the affect on the survivors as well, like this boy. This photo makes me want to cry.

6. As they grow up knowing, that this living hell, this terror that has

come upon them because someone wanted to put someone else in charge of the oil ministry and the oil fields.... what effect will this have upon them.... could it be anything of value... or have we sown the seeds of future terrorists, future haters of "democracy and freedom" future broken beings willing to give it all to seek revenge.

3. Tens of millions of Americans seem not to give a diddledy-damn no matter

how many Iraqis are killed.

4. well I was 10 yrs. old in 1968

and I remember a lot of Americans did not give a shit about the Vietnamese people dying. When the nightly news started showing the poor dead civilians along with the dead and wounded US soldiers things changed. Slowly, but they changed.

I am trying to be hopeful here.

7. Keep posting. This is what Americans need to see.

Instead of the military propaganda put out by the media. Body counts consist of people not just numbers.

11. More Americans would care more if bombarded with daily pics, but hardcore

true-believers would never care IMHO and that's tens of millions.

5. Our dead "heroically sacrifice". Iraqis are just dead.

“What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy.” - Gandhi

But, he was "liberated".

10. Sigh, but they hate us for our freedom. Never for killing their parents,

kids, friends, or relatives, neighbors, all based on a pack of "fixed intelligence"...no couldn't be that.

13. the terrible effects of this war are endless.

What does a sight like this do you a young person? Answer, nothing good. *, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Rice, et al...how do you live with all of the blood on your hands? Very sad...

14. Didn't Cheney say they were in their 'last throes'?

Guess those dead folks didn't get the message.
