...those currently dying in Iraq

the overwhelming majority of those currently
dying in iraq are iraqi civilians. collaterals.
those who have not the slightest consent to
this war in any way whatsoever. unmentionables.
men, women, children and infant nobodies.

have you paid attention to casualty reports
of iraqi civilians? it was reported a few months
ago by iraqi news sources that there were as many
as 50,000. we stopped counting at 10,000. in fact,
we ordered the count to stop at 10,000. in the last
2 days we know that 100 deaths of iraqi civilians
occured - not from our forces, but as an indirect
result of our invasion and occupation of a sovereign
nation that was contained from attacking other
nations by UN and US sanctions and constant airforce
surveilleiance and strikes on unauthorized military
activity.

can you find a report that civilian iraqi dead have
risen to 10,100? NOPE! and you won't. we stopped
the counting at 10,000. 10,000 is all we will ever
admit.

i feel for american families who have lost loved ones.
but there is a different feeling for those consensual
soldiers. the feeling for the non-consensual innocents
killed brings a deeper sadness to my soul. if you believe
that is 10,000... well that number is still atrocious...
but the real number is worse than atrocious... and
none of these deaths are necessary or just.

this picture from the past comes to mind:
