The War
Via Gorilla’s Guides on-site, indigenous, and independent reporting from Iraq.
When I see pictures like this, I imagine “what if it was Sam?”
Right now civilians are fleeing the Sadr City slums because my country is bombing them, in a stupid and doomed effort to destroy the Sadr movement. Sadr, as you may know, opposes the Bush-propped Maliki government, which is also backed by –SURPRISE!– the Iranians, who the US –SURPRISE!– blames for everything and against who the Bush Administration is trying to gin up a war.
What if it was Sam? The little boy in the picture is only 2. My guy is only 4.
What if it was Sam?
What if it was your kid?
We have to end this fucking war and bring our troops home. We have to punish the people who led us down this path.
I’m not holding my breath.
