    The Iraqi regime has plenty of viciously killed civilians to photograph and present to the world. Most of them were killed by Sadaam before this or any other war. I am not shocked or disgusted by these pictures, I am angered by them. These pictures are being presented as evidence of the atrocity of the US against the Iraqi people with absolutely no objectivity. I can appreciate other people’s views and opinions, but when you show no objectivity or even concern for others and try to push your twisted view of the world on others, I draw a line. I don’t believe for one moment that you truly care about the Iraqi people, because if you did, you would be presenting an objective view of reality. Include pictures of Iraqi’s killed, raped or dismembered by Sadaam. Talk about the value of human life, discuss the potential for real disarmament, potential future wars, etc. Just don’t show how stupid you really are by presenting totally non-objective materials with no supporting evidence. Please find a better use for your time and intellect or at the very least post this crap in the Soapbox. Matt Gullett PS. It looks like you signed up for CP just to post this crap. Go away.

      Thanks for the info. I didn't know that there were so many muslims in SA. I thought the missionaries had christened every living soul by now. -- Shine, enlighten me - shine Shine, awaken me - shine Shine for all your suffering - shine

        One non politically correct comment I have read suggests that African Christians and tribal religions are more likely to be susceptable to the Aids epedemic than the African Muslims. If this is true, it could really change the demographics of the continent. Regardz Colin J Davies

          It would be interesting to know: (1) If these were recent pictures (2) If these pictures were taken in Iraq (as opposed to, say, Chechnya) (3) If these deaths were actually cause by the Americans (as opposed to being killed by Iraq) Journalists here are saying that Iraqi officials have been taking them to see residential houses that have been bombed, telling them about mass civilian casualties and deaths. But, when they talk to neighbors in the area, the Iraqi civilians tell the journalists that the houses were empty - no one was living there! What other propaganda have the Iraqis been pushing? Also, journalists who have talked to Iraqis in hospitals all have been saying the same thing: their house wasn't bombed - rather - they were in the wrong place at the wrong time - for example, one woman was walking past a presidential palace when it was hit. ------------------------------------------ "What happened in that Rhode Island club is shocking.

            Hmm - either this server is too busy, or it's blocked. I think either is equally likely.

              Very emmotive pictures. But in war people die. It makes no difference if you die from having your head blown off to being shot through the heart. The war is wrong either way !

              I have previously replied this message, but my message is deleted??? The operation name should be changed to as it is "Free Iraq's resources". Main reason for this for this war is freeing resources of Iraq, by achiving this operation some of Iraq's may die and this is does not seem to be important for people who are responsible. They may improve and test their new weapons, this is a chance!!! for them. They may also free people of Iraq, i am sure that the child we see in this picture is now as free as birds :(

One politically incorrect question. How do Muslims accept Gays and Drug users? My perception is they are very strict in their acceptance. Feel free to correct me if this is wrong, I really do not know. ""

                    David is a child, and he doesn't seem to understand. He tries to come off as objective, when in fact he's beligerent to the US in every possible way. Therefore, I tend to try to ignore him.

                      Aren't people who live near Central Park in New York terrified of the gangs in the Bronx? I mean I hear horrific tales of crime, mafia like gangs, drive by shootings and all manner of sorts. Aren't US citizens also afraid of the Islamic fundmentalist cells hiding in each city? What about those neo nazi nuts who blow up government property because the government treats blacks equally? If you read the news as the truth for everyone you would think every soul in America is gingerly ducking from street corner to street corner. You would think I take an armed guard with me when driving to work so I don't get hijacked, that my house is mined to deter thieves and that my daughter wears a chastity belt so she cannot be raped. Point being that while one person is murdered in their house, 45million others go on with a reasonably good life. Of course we must not accept the crime as the norm and not do anything about it, but we also must not get whipped into such a frenzy that life stops. If we took the news headlines as something that impacts everyone directly then we should all be cowering in our broom closets 24/7. Yes things are bad in Zimbabwe. That won't be happening in South Africa though, things are different here plus we have a saner president (even though he says daft stuff on HIV and AIDS.) Plus South Africa is a beautiful place to live. I have a wonderful standard of living, far better than any Londoner, New Yorker or Hong Konger. I don't go to the bad places, I don't attract the attention of people I shouldn't. I work hard and hope it helps the country.

                        Point taken. I didn't mean any offense by my question, I was just wondering how the politics of the country had affected your life. BTW I live in Michigan's Upper Penninsula, not much in the way of crime, my doors stay unlocked, no gangs, and unless you are afraid of deer not much to worry about except for if the fish are biting.
