4. Nice work. We have to bring the reality of war home.
Not glory, not heroics, not flag waving.

Slaughter, carnage, brutality, grief, barbarity, murder, torture, and all the rest of the reality of war.

“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

19. Wrong Testament
Sure Jesus said Love Your Enemies. but he was a liberal pacifist. Not the God they worship there.

Go to the Old Testament. Abhor gay men and those who eat shellfish and smite your enemies.

Oh, never mind about the shellfish. I forget which parts they decide to believe are true.

But when it comes to Jesus, ask yourself "What would Jesus do". Then expect the opposite from this administration.

20. Oops. I forgot
The Righties don't really believe in Jesus.

But they're happy to use his name in their advertising.....

21. They even broke an Old Testament Commandment,
to get to power in the first place, with the help of the Corpwhorate Media Monopoly, you know the one about "Thou shalt not bare false witness".

22. But that's "against thy neighbor"
That's a commandment I am curious about. It doesn't say "Don't lie" Why not? And can you lie FOR your neighbor?

And who is your neighbor? I think we are all neighbors, this earth is a tiny spot in a vast universe. I doubt they have the same definition.

6. OMG! That actually brought tears to my eyes.
Edited on Wed Aug-03-05 09:13 AM by jojo54
It's so heartbreaking that we can't run this murderer out of office and he doesn't even care about the lives he destroys.

That's the kind of real christian family values I want my grandkids learning about, I'll tell ya. :sarcasm:

on edit: I'm recommending this.

7. Oh man
That's powerful stuff.

I'm getting tired of having to explain to coworkers why I look like I am on the verge of tears half the time.

I hope things improve soon.

:cry:

11. But at least it's not Americans in American cities crying, bleeding
and dying. Aren't we more susceptible to pain? Isn't that why it's more important to make brown people suffer?

12. The only way to end the nightmare is to put the entire Bush administration
and their corporate friends in prison forever. FOREVER!

This nightmare will never end until we do.

14. Strangely,
I find the bloodied unused bullets the most disturbing.

17. It's "hard work" making grown men cry
We need more Paul Hacketts, people who can fight them on their own ground of militarism, but who are SANE!! His heart is in the right place though, and people like him will help us find our way back having trumped them on their national security con.

23. But do you agree with him that the only way to support the troops
is to go over there?

I think we can support them much better by exposing the lies that led to this invasion, and getting the troops home ASAP.

25. Totally against this war, hell yes, but if guys like this get in,
they can effect the changes that will prevent this from happening again.

24. Everyone talks of the war, but these people
feel it. Every day they feel it and experience it. People need to be enlightened to the suffering of Iraqis....

26. The very reason the pictures of torture are being held, can you imagine
what kind of response those of torture will bring.
