Relatives of Iraqi Hamza Abbas cry after Hamza was killed during an overnight US airstrike in Sadr City

1. Sad. Who is Hamza Abbas?

If there are names and relatives...I think the US military conducting these bombings should be forced to tell who the terrorists are they are trying to kill. Was he on their list? What proof do they have he had conducted terrorist actions? Shouldn't they be taken into custody? Are the prisons so full over there, they have just resorted to taking out any young men walking the streets? Is this ever going to end?

5. "Insurgents" aren't the same as terrorists

That said, I do wish NO ONE was in Iraq trying to kill Americans.

6. I know that!!!

Of course I know that!

But what about Poland? You forgot Poland!

9. Oh I know, was making a rhetorical observation to complement your post

Not directed at you, Ripley. :)

2. Oh my God

What have we done to these people? Why does Kerry want to inherit this clusterfuck?

3. If the Iraqis would just quit getting married, quit living in houses and

quit trying to live this wouldn't keep happening.

Sorry, just disgusted, sad and very angry.

4. keep up the good work jack

I know this is not the most pleasant way to contribute but it is vital.
BTW, I have been collecting all of these and plan on making a printed out version to give to people.

7. Thanks for collecting them...all the credit goes to those photographers

on the ground in Iraq taking these. Luckily for us, the internet allows us to bypass the American Corporate Media filter online and see what is REALLY happening.

8. Thanks for the photos!! God bless you, for this important work.

I hate war. I think it is damned.

Peace is not only Possible, It is preferable in every way!

There are people who pray daily that the human race gets tired of all of its un-necessary/political/"religious" wars and each of us becomes personally responsible for "concrete"/empirically true peace, everywhere.

Hare Krsna!

10. Looking at these pictures

makes me want to cry. None of my Bush-supporting acquaintances believe that America can possibly be doing anything wrong in Iraq. I get sick to my stomach thinking that some people call this "liberation."
:cry:
