I'm tired of seeing dead Iraqi children.

[KingChicken]

Over the last few days I’ve been reviewing thousands of front-line images and videos, I’m completely nauseated by what I see. Some of the most horrifying images are of the dismembered and maimed children, and seeing their grieving parents if they are still alive. The Iraqi people have taken so many casualties that there isn’t enough resources to properly bury them all let alone care for the wounded. I’m stuck with the images of Iraqis packing their dead children, 3 - 4 at a time into adult sized coffins and wooden boxes. This holiday season many Americans will worry about what to get their children for Christmas, the Iraqis on the other hand may be worrying that there won’t be enough coffins to go around. Sorry, I had to get this off my chest.

1. wait til the American children start dying as SSDI is cut out

2. They will probably figure out ways to sweep that under the table

Or they will make a big deal of putting bandaids on, while ignoring the causes of the problem (understandable since they created them).

5. As Barbara Bush said...

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths. Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

6. I was just debating...

whether or not to send my fundie mother an e-mail full of casualties in Iraq. Fundies don't give a shit.

I feel if she can send me one of those fearmongering urban legend pieces of crap Americans like to worry their little minds over, maybe I can send her something real to think about. Serial killers, indeed.

I've yet to see the woman blink an eye when I've told her how many people we've murdered over there. I am so unbelievably angry about this, and right now, Fallujah is hanging over our heads like the Black Plague. I hate the people in my country who support the Bush monster.

7. Your right, they just turn their heads

I think a lot of people feel guilty deep down, that’s why the massive denial. They try to shift the focus because they know the truth is absolutely horrifying. I say send them the pictures, and the videos, and the news reports, they always claim that it's propaganda, or it's fake, or an isolated incident. There is a point at which the people can't hide from the overwhelming evidence anymore; we need to get people to that breaking point.

8. Start saying:

"Christians Don't Kill." I say it everytime some pea-brained fundie mouths off why we should support * and what we are doing in Iraq.

10. I don't think they feel guilty at all...

I have a whole family I won't be seeing at Christmas this year because of their bush* love. They are not in denial at all. They are brainwashed, hoodwinked what ever the fuck you call it when people can not see what is right in front of them. I think bush* is the emporer with no clothes in 3-D and only very few have the 3-D glasses.

9. definitely send it to her

and ask her to pray for her own soul

11. Dubya is working on the problem

The disgusting news I heard last night was that the hospital was taken so that they/we could curb the "inflated" death tolls coming out of there. What they really mean is, so that the carnage will not be reported and more will be denied care.
:nuke:

12. "pro-life" ad's say partial birth abortions are "violent"

and they go on and on about how painful they are. Yet there is never, ever ONE word about the slaughtered Iraqi children. If the Lancet report is right, 46,000 dead Iraqi children. Torn apart, beheaded by hi tech weapons. There were abortion protestors at a Kerry event last summer. I drove by a group holding up huge posters of aborted babies, and I wondered why there no photos of dead Iraqi children if they are so concerned about "life".

14. Ditto that

Typical hypocrisy.

13. So change the channel...
