Topic: Photos from Iraq

I saw photos on T.V I hope pictures like this will spread around so that people will start thinking with their conscious instead of their greed. I also heard that the Americans administration is afraid of such pictures being spread around and anti-war resentiment might rise again. I'm fully aware that many innocent Iraqi civilians are being injured and killed by US bombs, and that's horrific. Honestly, thoughts like this plague me every day... I do not consider myself truly pro- or anti-war, but that does not make me indifferent.
I would advise anyone in here especially young and sensitive members if you go to these sites, are aware you are going to see dead people.

I fail to see how any but the last abtch would be considered anti war, even though though definatly show unpleasant things, those who are jsut all OMG AREW SOLDIERS ARE DIEING WE MUST LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are fucking stupid, i respect those who suport the war, and those whjo dont want it to be for social and economic reasons, but those who feel the fact that poeple die in war as a reason to pull out are completly worthless

war is not a pretty thing, if 2004 years of history hasnt shownt hat to you yet, then your a stupid nastard

and sorry for hte mini rant, shocking photos indeed

There are more than 2004 years of recorded history.

People dieing in a war is a rather good reason to not go to war unless absolutely unavoidable.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Also, WB to the forums rinard, you were...missed. There was a guy here, Maho, who you would have liked to meet.

Sometimes other options will yeld results worse than the losses incurred in war, yes.

Perhaps it's just the selfish bitch in me, but now that we've dug ourselves into a hole that we really can't get out of, why NOT benefit from it? I wasn't big on going over there in the first place, but we seriously screwed shit up over there and it's our responsibility to fix it. If in fixing it we gain a trade partner, so what? Isn't that GOOD?
We did the same thing in WWII with Japan. Bomb the hell out of them and rebuild. Japan is now one of the most advanced countries in the world and we have great trade with them. Sure it was fucked up to do what we did in both cases, but we're cleaning up and we'll all benefit in the end. Or perhaps that's just the optimist in me.
