more from the middle east…
A photostory and article from www.uruknet.info, a website for “Information from Occupied Iraq,” calls to question the weapons used by Israel’s military forces and also a first-person narrative from a Lebanese journalist coping with the casualities and life in these war-torn times.
I’d post more of the photos but they’re too gruesome. The picture of the three-year-old boy above was one of the few where a victim’s face was actually viewable. If you think you can handle viewing these atrocities, then click here.

They really should show all of these images on U.S. news. Of course the images are too awful, but that’s just what everyone needs to see. People are too comfortable sitting on their couch, thinking how sad it is that there’s a war going on. Most Americans are too far removed from this kind of death that they just don’t get it. Maybe if they saw these images, then they’d really realize what’s going on and protest war in all its forms. Until then, we’ll just debate things from the safety of our chairs while we sip Starbucks coffee.
