Ok please read this post before you post. I would like to start a thread where we post pics from the war in iraq, protests/reactions from around the world, and anything relating to the current conflict.

Please do not post graphic images. that includes the dead, mutalated bodies, and anything else that is just plain not acceptable to be viewed by minors.

I would like to see the types of images that are being shown around the world. Whats the newspapers showing in sweden, compared to what you might see here in the states. Id like to see what the differences in images are. Please include where you got the images from and any relavent info about the pic.

Please stay on topic and remember to not post extremely graphic images.

thanks

You can see how grateful that kid is over his newfound freedom. It is blessed by god.

His own government, the ones most likely responsible for said shrapnel, would have let him die. Ask his mother how blessed she thinks she is to have the UK dr. saving her son's life.

Following that logic: A man comes into your house and shoots your kid in the belly region. That's ok though since he brought a doctor with him. You feel blessed by God.

Detachment from reality.

No. That does not follow the same logic at all. My home is not run by a dictator who kills his own people on a whim. The man breaking into my house is not breaking in to liberate me from said dictatorship. And the "ruler" of my home did not cause injury to my kid then leave him to die.

Delusions of intellect.

That's nothing but speculation. I want you to produce solid evidence that:
i) That kid was hurt by shrapnel from an Iraqi grenade
ii) That the above was deliberate
iii) That the Iraqi civil services were able to bring the kid to hospital but refused

Regardless of whom shot the grenade would you agree that the reason grenades are fired in the first place is because of the state of war? Who are the invaders?

Perhaps if Saddam would have followed UNSC 671 and the other 16 resolutions - we wouldn't have been forced into this.


Cosmo;

So, let me get this strait. If your running a Meth-lab in your basement and are selling it to kids and your neighbor found out; he told you to get rid of the Lab immediatly or he'll call the police. So, you refuse and he calls... 12 years later. Next thing you know, SWAT blows off your door and comes charging into your house. You retreat to the bathroom, unbeknownst to them, with your 6 month old kid and slam the door shut. As SWAT approaches you start randomly shooting out the door. SWAT breaches the door and in the CQB an unidentified shot (from either party, as it's irrelevent) hit the child. As soon as the dealer is dead, SWATE rushes in and saves the kids life.

So, your telling me it's SWATs (or society at large's) fault that the kid was injured? If anything SWAT should be commended for removing the treat to the community, and freeing that child to live a life outside the realm of the methhead - a life that the child had no control over, a life that was unable to defend itself, a life that society had to protect.

I* happen to think the fault is as follow:

(a) Meth-dealer's fault for having a Meth-Lab
(b) Meth-dealer's fault for using the kid as a shield
(c) Meth-dealer's fault for even raising a kid in that enviroment

* These statements and ideologies are are all IMHO and contain no subliminal or otherwise manipulative implications that are intended to force others into complience with said ideologies.

An Iraqi Kurdish militia fighter raises a Kurdistan Democratic Party flag near the Kurdish-controlled town of Erbil during a move toward the oil center of Kirkuk in northern Iraq on Saturday. Striking at Islamic militant camps, U.S. forces and Kurdish fighters were shaping their new northern front against Saddam Hussein's army Saturday, which apparently pulled back along the main road to Kirkuk.

Col, Dunken Robertson of British 4 General Support Regiment Medics gives medical attention to an Iraqi child as British troops of 187 Squadron, 23 Pioneer Regiment, hand out food and fresh water to residents of a village south of Basra in southern Iraq on Thursday

[CosmoKramer]

Howcome they need medical attention? Howcome they suddenly need water shipped in?

[DemoCoder]

How come Saddam turned off the water to Basra 5 days before the war started? How come Saddam showered food and goodies from the Oil for Food program on the Sunni minority/Tikrit tribe in Bagdad and the Baath party, but started the Shittes in the South?

People in Basra and Umm Qasr were impoverished before the war started, mainy due to Saddam's rule.
