> US war crimes : how troops tortured Iraqi prisoners
3 May 2004, 08:01
all of this talk is so horrendous, afghanistan was wrong, iraq was wrong. there are no words to express the debased torture of the iraqi prisoners. just imagine if the situation had it been the other way round. if those prisoners had been american.
i am just an ordinary person but! if ANY of those people in those photographs were members of my family i believe i could become a terrorist on the same day i viewed the photgraphs.
another horror from iraq which keeps me awake at night, or i sometimes wake up crying is the image of a little girl about 10 being carried by her father with both her feet blown off by a cluster bomb. she is dying in his arms, the blood is pulsating out of her body as he looks at her helplessly and hopelessly. WHY use cluster bombs, BULLIES! the whole world knew that the best
equipped most technologically advanced army in the world could annihilate, massacre and maim the populations of both afghanistan and iraq.
and what about lt gen william boykin who promotes his god over anybody else’s god who said that george bush was put in the white gouse to lead the global fight against satan disguised as islam, and gave god the credit for protecting him and his troops in a bloody battle in somalia in 1993 that battle was he said, a fight between "the principalities of darkness" led by him and his soldiers at gods direction. WHO is the weirdo here? THINK
i have to agree with samir amin when he said "never have the armies of the north brought, prosperity, to the peoples of asia, africa, or latin america. In the future, as in the past five centuries, they can only bring to these peoples further servitude, the exploitation of their labor, the expropriation of their riches, and the denial of their rights. it is of the UTMOST importance the progressive forces of the west understand this.
on this note i am going to open a bottle of red, watch the news and learn how 11 more young, beautiful americans died today, probably they won’t tell the number of iraqi’s for the world knows that an american life is worth much more than the life of an iraqi. even though i am not there i, like many others watch the 6 o’clock news suffer and cry
