This picture is tough to look at

"The bombing of Guernica had no strategic military significance but was simply an opportunity for the Germans, with Franco’s permission, to test the power of their new air force. It also helped to terrorize not only the Spanish people but all those who might oppose the fascist onslaught. In desolate shades of black, white, and gray, without any other color, the anguished Picasso depicts a nightmare of twisted, writhing forms, sketched from actual photographs of the devastation. A screaming mother holds her dead child, the eyes of a corpse bulge open wide in horror, a horse is terrified by the bomb about to explode inside his mouth. A tapestry reproduction of Picasso’s “Guernica” has hung outside the Security Council chamber at the U.N. in New York since 1985. In an act of supreme irony, U.N. officials covered it up during Colin Powell’s presentation there on February 5, 2003."

You may say that war is hell. You may say that all is fair in combat. You may say that child was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't care what your excuses may be. No child should have to experience that. No one should.

A funny thing happened to a guy who used to be very proud to be an American. He watched, listened, and evaluated his countrymen and occassionally hoped his system would implode.


VG.....I agree 100% with everything you said.

what does a fist fight have to do anything? what are you in high school?

Are you a dick? Frackal made a comment that all the people who are responding to this thread "harshly" would probably start crying if they were in a combat situation. I thought it was pretty funny coming from someone who never had a fist fight let alone been in a situation where your life was in danger according to how you reacted.

little chris:

But the one thing that sickens me about you bleeding heart liberals is you only know how to attack someone with a different view point.

Why do you morons always have to make this political? This isn't about democrats vs. republicans, this isn't about christians vs. muslims, and this isn't about America vs. future terrorism. A little boy has had his life ruined. Sure he was Iraqi and Muslim. Does that make his life any less valuable? Those are just labels, meant to divide us. I say fuck labels, and I'll send a prayer to this kid for what he is: a member of the human race. It's easy to lose sight of the big picture.

Its because the only way that a simpleton like little Chris can get his head around international affiars. By polarizing everything into a battle of good vs evil. Little Chris is a victim of media disinformation. Dont you think if there was any credible evidence linking Saddam and Bin Laden it would have been flogged to death already. As it turns out the only evidence linking the two was blatantly 'made up' by the hawks. Even the CIA distanced itself from those earlier claims saying they presented the data handed down from the administration before it had been properly scrutinized. Those lies seem to have gone virtually unquestioned by the popular media outlets.

When I watch fox news (I live in Australia but we have it over here on cable) I seriously end up feeling more and more stupid after editorial. I cannot believe that fox is Americas biggest rating news, its unbelievable. Murdoch himself has said he cares very little about credibility and that his primary concern is profitibility.
Watching Bill O'Reily and the like is so infuriating, take for example his attacks on Al Jazeera. The fox news team slammed Al Jazeera for displaying images of POW's and dead soldiers yet Al Jazeera is actually financed largely by fox and other major networks who pay for access to their footage. I can dig up the relevant documentation if you wish.
