45. Have you seen the Iraqi kids, babies, blown to pieces?
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 04:34 PM by Don Claybrook
There are plenty of pictures of dead Iraqi children available for viewing if you're so inclined. Take a look at some of them.

And then tell me...

Who is it you want to nuke when you see these other photos?
Who should be melted into oblivion for these unspeakable crimes?

Or are those murders somehow different, somehow less serious? Is it more sanitary if the death is launched from 30,000 feet or from 150 miles, rather than hand-to-hand?

Or is it possible that the Iraqi kids died during wartime, which was justified, but these Americans died in the new and peaceful Iraq, which was wrong?

Please don't think I'm accusing you of anything. I just wonder what you think about the flip side of this situation. And on the flip side, we've been much, much more efficient with murdering human beings than the Iraqi mobs have been. I saw the wartime vs. peacetime thing mentioned on these pages today and couldn't believe what I was reading.

While I could never excuse what happened to these Americans, I certainly can understand the anger that fueled the hatred--it's all apparent if you look at some of those pictures mentioned at the beginning of my post.
