...when Bush invaded their country with Shock And Awe going on four years ago?

Something to think about isn't it?

2. Yes, it's an eye opener
Imagine, soon we will have the first generation of young who can't remember how it was to grow up in a world without threats. And then I'm thinking about Europe and the US - everywhere else life seems so easy spent.

Look at this angel:



Abir Hamza, born in Iraq August 19, 1991.

This means she was born right into the sanctions going on all through the 90's - a harsh regime where 3 of five kids never reached the age of 5. Her country's infrastructure was destroyed by Coalition bombs before she was born, and approximately a decade after her birth, a new Coalition invaded her country and bombed the living shit out of her people. Until four years before her birth, the dictator that was the pretext for both wars, were built up and helped control his people by the US and the Europeans.

A difficult life who ended Mars 12. 2006, when she was raped and killed by soldiers in the army that was supposed to 'free' her.

It's enough to make you want to scream.
