These two children are dead because an American soldier opened fire in the car in which they were travelling. They are two out of five of the people killed by that soldier.
These two children were in their own country when a foreigner who is in their country opened fire and shot them. They died because the current American government decided to wage war on Iraq, occupy it, loot it, dismember it. Most Iraqis say that Iraq under the predominantly American occupation of Iraq is worse than it was under Saddam Hussein.
The American army in a statement said it “regretted” that the children had died.
Many Americans and Europeans are upset at the evil that is being done in their name by their governments. Today March the 18th 2006 many Americans and Europeans are making their anger and disgust at what is being done in their name by their governments clear. And that is good.
(But I bet they are not as angry and upset as the relatives of these two dead children.)
No tag for this post.
I will carry these children in my heart as I march tonight.
My heart broke when I saw and read this earlier today, now I have to say thank you for keeping this in the forefront. I asked siun about mark tonite when she got on FDL and she said he had to take some time off, he is missed by me for sure, and so I am taking her up on her suggestion to leave a post. Thank you. best wishes to all.
Angie thanks for your kindness.
