This is a very graphic collection of photos of civilian victims of this war. (Mostly children.) If you are a very sensitive person or have small children while opening the pictures (20 pages) be cautious. Is this "Collateral damage" and Iraqi people is better now because we gave them freedom ?

Is this "collateral damage" and therefore expected in our effort to spread freedom in the word.
Does the "pro life philosophy" stop in the abortion chapter?
Are our chicken hawks honest or just despicable hypocrites??

Shock n' awe baby. Shock n' awe. Winning hearts and minds and making the world safe for freedom, love, the american way and rockwellraytheonhalliburton.
I fail to see in any way possible how their blood makes me any safer or advances our non-corporate national interests.
the unfortunate aspect is that only those opposed to iraqmire will have the guts to view it. those in favor won't dare for fear of shaking their ideology.

So where are all of those evengelical conservative war hawks who protest against abortion while they support Bush in his "war"?
Where are those evengelical conservative war hawks when CHILDREN are bombed, shot, burned, maimed, starved, and abandoned in a country where they say our "war" is justified?
I am SO disgusted by the mindless double-standard hypocritical attitude and spin and baloney from everyone that is still 'for' this "war".
Anyone who is not disgusted and angered and appalled at the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of innocent Iraqis that have died or have been injured or maimed or left homeless and penniless because of this "war" has to either be out of their minds or ignorant or heartless.

While shocking and sad - who is to say American and UK troops caused this? Read the press people. How many times each day are reports published of Shiites blowing up XX or Sunnis carbombing YY or Kurds ambushing ZZ?
My God - just last week there was a report of a car approaching a US guarded checkpost. Two adults in the front seat, two children in the back. Once they cleared the checkpost - the two adults baled the car and BLEW UP THE CAR! The children were left in the car. This insanity was caused by Iraqi extremists with the sole intent to kill and maim others including other Iraqis.
Don't blame only US and UK soldiers for 'collatoral damage'. The Iraqi extremists cause just as much if not more suffering.
And no - I'm not a pro-war, pro-Bush, hold the stand, win the war supporter. I've got a son, daughter-in-law and son-in-law in the Military. Two of them are in Iraq right now. I want them home yesterday. Just don't blame our soldiers for everything bad.

And you need to note that NO one is specifically blaming any of OUR troops for this.
The "blame" lies with Bush and his admin for starting this war, which was based on nothing but LIES.
The "war" was ok until after Bush declared "mission accomplished". Since that point, the administration made a HUGE HUGE MESS of Iraq - uncontrolled looting, letting the Iraqi army disband and DISAPPEAR, putting inexperienced neo-cons wannabes in charge of ALL aspects of rebuilding, NOT hiring Iraqis to help with rebuilding, leaving the majority of Iraqis with NO clean water or electricity for most of EVERY day since May 2003, losing track of THOUSANDS of weapons and BILLIONS of dollars, and on and on ...
The violence of the inusurgency is a DIRECT result of our administration's TOTAL incompetence at managing the rebuilding after Saddam was removed. So, in that respect, the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDs of innocent dead Iraqis IS the fault of the United States!

This Aljazeera site is propaganda. I do not wish to see anyone killed or maimed, but the Ams & Brits did not do these things. Today, "the death toll on Saturday from a truck bomb in the town of Tal Afar {was 152], making it the deadliest single bombing of the four-year-old war.
Interior Ministry spokesman Brigadier Abdul Kareem Khalaf said 347 people were wounded in Tuesday's attack on a Shi'ite area. There was another truck bomb in the mixed northwestern town on Tuesday, but it was small.
Khalaf said 100 homes had been destroyed in the main blast, which officials have blamed on al Qaeda. The explosion left a 23-meter (75-ft)-wide crater." Reuters, by Mussab Al-Khairalla.
