>>"When you take a father in front of his family and put a bag over his head and put him on the ground, you have had a significant adverse effect on his dignity and respect in the eyes of his family." (That's very perceptive.)
Back to November 2004, when the U.S. forces bombarded the Iraqi town of Fallujah, killing more than two thousands of its people; America said that the objective of the operation was to rid the town of the “terrorist bands” acting as part of a "Ba’athist conspiracy".

But on June 16 2003, nearly six weeks after President Bush claimed victory in Iraq, two reporters for the Knight Ridder newspaper group wrote this about the Fallujah area:


"In dozens of interviews during the past five days, most residents across the area said there was no Ba'athist or Sunni conspiracy against U.S. soldiers, there were only people ready to fight because their relatives had been hurt or killed, or they themselves had been humiliated by home searches and road stops ... One woman said, after her husband was taken from their home because of empty wooden crates which they had bought for firewood, that the U.S. is guilty of terrorism."<<

2. I don't know why.... but if you read the article at Al Jazeera... this

photo was with it... you cannot link it directly, (contains illegal code) you have to photobucket it first for some reason that I do not understand..... sort of a weird photo to go with this article I admit.....

3. I was just being a bit sarcastic

I can see children in this country with the same message on a sign. That photo is probably a bit of anti-US propaganda (not untrue, but after all in English?)

5. can there possibly be ANYONE in Iraq who does not . . .

know someone (or is related to someone) who has been humiliated, injured, or killed? . . . the entire country is going to end up hating America and Americans -- if they don't already . . .

6. This is how we grow terrorists that give us reason to take over

other peoples' natural resources.
