Scenes From An Iraki Childhood April 8th 2008 - Spot the difference edition

Spot the difference between these two children:
Did you spot the difference - it’s not the obvious one that one is a boy and one is a girl.
The answer is below the fold:
The difference between the two is that the The girl was wounded in the roadside bombing attack on a bus south of Baqubah. The boy was wounded in one of several American rocket attacks on Sadr city today.

Can you spot the difference between the child killer who uses a roadside bomb which is a notoriously imprecise weapon without any regard to civilian casualties to achieve his objective and the American child killer who fires a rocket at a densely populated civilian area without any regard to civilian casualties to achieve his objective?
No, neither can I because there is none. The target of that particular airstrike was a school by the way. There is absolutely no difference whatsoever between the two. None. They are both barbarians. Neither of the two types of barbarian are welcome here. I am a mother, I am Iraki, those could be my children, I know plenty of of young mothers whose children have been murdered by the barbarism that America brought here and continues to foster here. Do not expect me to feel even the slightest pity for any American who is here as part of the American war against my children. What I feel is exactly the same as what I feel when I hear that a bomber has been killed. Relief. Relief that that is one less child murdering pig to prey upon my children and satisfaction that a barbarian got what was coming to them.
Um Thalit.

What we are doing in Iraq is barbaric. We are committing war crimes everyday, violating long-held treaties that have–per our own Supreme Court–the force of law in the U.S. And, U.S. citizens, WE are obliged to do everything we can to stop these war crimes. Let us not look away. Let us act, daily.

I’d like to cross-post this to AlterNet. If you have any objection, just e-mail me and I’ll remove it promptly.
Thanks you for helping us understand the horrors we’ve unleashed.

I’m deeply sorry for what the government of America is doing in our name and with our tax dollars. I do not support the invasion, occupation and destruction of Iraq and the murder of it’s people. I try to fight it in every way that I can, but clearly the government doesn’t care what its’ citizens want.
I know that saying I’m sorry doesn’t mean a thing when one is suffering as all of you are, but it’s all I can offer. I’m sorry and my thoughts are with you every day.

I am so sorry for what our country is doing to the children and adults of Iraq. It is perverse and evil and I am doing whatever I can to bring an end to this completely immoral conflict. My heart and my prayers go out to you.

I’ve made this my “Hot-Link of the Week” at Sparrow Chat, in the hope as many Americans as possible will read it. This war is an abomination.

I cannot begin to imagine what life must be like in Iraq today. My thoughts are for the people of this beautiful country and for the day when the people of America decide to tell their “leaders” they will not pay for this insane war anymore. Those Americans and their supporters who “believe” in this war are insane and should be treated as such. My own country, Canada, supports this war in it’s own way, and of this, I am not proud. I’ve told my “leaders” to stop aiding this war and I support humanitarian efforts as best I can; I wish it was more.
