This bullshit pisses me off. It's our damn fault this baby was mutilated.

[Randi_Listener]

Now it makes the feel-good-story-of-the-week. If Fuckface doesn't start dropping clusterbomb on Iraq, this little boy would still be running with the other Iraqi children. Fuck Smirky and his band of Shit-eating miscreants.

Ten-year-old Majid Fadhil is a long way from his home, his parents and his six siblings in Kut, Iraq, getting a very special gift — artificial legs and the ability to walk again.

Majid was hurt while walking home from school in Kut, in southeastern Iraq, with a younger cousin and other friends in February 2004. The cousin stepped on something — it's not clear whether it was a roadside bomb planted by Iraqi insurgents, a stray grenade or a landmine — and triggered an explosion. His cousin was killed. Majid lost his legs just below the knees.

Majid does not remember much about the incident — but feels lucky to have survived.

8. They want Americans to feel good about "helping Iraqi children".

Our fucking war-mongering ruined this young life and many others.

May they rot in fucking hell for their crimes.

[merci_me]

7. "A very special gift????"

Are they fucking crazy? Do they think we have become so blinded by the neocons we buy that logic?

[Randi_Listener]

10. We blow his legs off, wire him up like RoboCop, and call it a "gift"

We've got a lot of fucking nerve in the media.

[physioex]

11. I agree....

Those americans that didn't vote, and the ones that voted for Shrub all had a part in this........

And as amercians we all take responsibility, but I/we tried our best to fight the jerks in power.....

[DesEtoiles]

12. Now watch this drive.

[Doctor Panacea]

13. Not OUR fault

No, it was not OUR fault. It was the fault of the people who planned and carried out this war.

[physioex]

14. True enough.....

However a "majority" voted for this pResident. And we are a part of this country, so we do share in responsibility like it or not.....

[Randi_Listener]

16. This is our motherfucking mess.

This is all being done in our name. When the chickens come home to roost, they won't ask who voted for fucking who.

20. NOT IN OUR NAME - Pledge of Resistance

We believe that as people living
in the United States it is our
responsibility to resist the injustices
done by our government,
in our names

Not in our name
will you wage endless war
there can be no more deaths
no more transfusions
of blood for oil

Not in our name
will you invade countries
bomb civilians, kill more children
letting history take its course
over the graves of the nameless

Not in our name
will you erode the very freedoms
you have claimed to fight for

Not by our hands
will we supply weapons and funding
for the annihilation of families
on foreign soil

Not by our mouths
will we let fear silence us

Not by our hearts
will we allow whole peoples
or countries to be deemed evil

Not by our will
and Not in our name

We pledge resistance

We pledge alliance with those
who have come under attack
for voicing opposition to the war
or for their religion or ethnicity

We pledge to make common cause
with the people of the world
to bring about justice,
freedom and peace

Another world is possible
and we pledge to make it real.

18. Iraq's Children of the Bomblet

A year later, remembering the deadliest weapon
Iraq's Children of the Bomblet

In the months after the Iraq war, the unexploded bomblets sat idly in parks, sandlots, school yards, and fields, waiting for kids.

Nihad Jewad, like thousands of Baghdad's children, wandered out to play soccer in late April, after the fighting had stopped. His older brother wasn't sure whether Nihad picked up the device or fell on it. By the time he reached the Saudi-run field hospital, his left hand blown off along with the thumb on his right one, most of his life had flowed out of the blasted femoral artery in his leg.

As the doctors attempted to revive him, an American soldier guarding the clinic approached a photographer. "It's terrible about those land mines," he said, just like that. The comment struck the photographer as sarcastic. Or disingenuous, at least, since the boy clearly hadn't stepped on a mine. The clinic couldn't issue death certificates, nor did it supply coffins, so the Jewads would have to go to another hospital. Later that afternoon, Nihad's family buried him at the cemetery in Abu Ghreib.

The bomblets look like fun to kids. Shiny, tossable pieces of metal, they resemble a large D battery or a small hand grenade. Attached to the bottom are long, white ribbons, rather like streamers a child might fasten to the handlebars of a bike. Human Rights Watch (HRW) estimates that coalition forces left 2 million of these little bombs all over Iraq, killing or injuring perhaps a thousand civilians. Cluster munitions, the group reports, caused more harm to noncombatants than any other weapon during the war.

...more...

This is disgraceful, I knew things were really bad there but I had no idea the U.S. was using crap like this. I hope that FUCKING BASTARD in the white house gets his very soon, just when I don't think its possible to hate someone more, I read this shit and it makes me so mad I can't describe it. :mad:

21. Cluster munitions kill children in ME every day.
