Default Just a story

about something that happened.

here.

It is hard to relate to those down below when you're sitting up there in the sky; but nevertheless they live and they die and yours is to do and not to ask why.

And the loved ones of those that were indescriminately killed are angry, develop a hatred of those that killed without questioning and some may even take up arms against us... Explain that one away as "collateral damage".

What would YOU do in their position? An invading army comes in to your country and is free to unleash death with impunity, it's going to piss you off isn't it?

We've learned nothing from Vietnam and we're going to pay dearly for it. So much for "winning the hearts and minds of the people".

Yes, and that's in the relative calm and safety of Baghdad. I'd hate to see what's going down in Falluja.

Here's a link to a gallery of photos taken from this incident. A word of warning, it is extremely violent, gory and disturbing. You will see civilians die. What you won't see are any weapons or insurgents.

I find it interesting that no one from the pro-war camp has had anything to say about this incident. Either they don't care, or they know they're wrong. Most likely both.

Maybe it's because they're laughing at you after seeing the full video.

Apparently they won't show it in Canada or the UK.:-P

Here's a link to a video from the Haifa street masacre. Now you can laugh along with Fade as you watch the blood of Mazen al-Tomaisi splatter on the camera lense.

From The Nausea
A helicopter attacks a crowd of unarmed civilians: more than 10 people, including children and the journalist of Al-Arabiya (Mazen al-Tomaisi), are killed. Video
