January 25th: an American missile strikes the residential district of Al Jumhuriya, Basra. These two Iraqi girls, sisters, were found dead in the rubble. Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon acknowledged the strike: "The US regrets any civilian casualties," he said, "but has no independent evidence that any Iraqis were killed."

In 1993 Kevin Carter headed north of the border with Silva to photograph the rebel movement in famine-stricken Sudan. To make the trip, Carter had taken a leave from the Weekly Mail and borrowed money for the air fare. Immediately after their plane touched down in the village of Ayod, Carter began snapping photos of famine victims. Seeking relief from the sight of masses of people starving to death, he wandered into the open bush. He heard a soft, high-pitched whimpering and saw a tiny girl trying to make her way to the feeding centre. As he crouched to photograph her, a vulture landed in view. Careful not to disturb the bird, he positioned himself for the best possible image. He would later say he waited about 20 minutes, hoping the vulture would spread its wings. It did not, and after he took his photographs, he chased the bird away and watched as the little girl resumed her struggle. Afterward he sat under a tree, lit a cigarette, talked to God and cried. "He was depressed afterward," Silva recalls. "He kept saying he wanted to hug his daughter."

The photographer killed himself a year later.

Having an old man&#39;s facie is a symptom of protein deficiency or kwashiorkor which can be acquired during periods of starvation and starvation is one of the many ills that war brings about. These pictures are so depressing but they all make us feel, like someone said that we are lucky, luckier than the people we see in these pictures. Can someone have this thread stickied?

This Iraqi boy is so afraid of falling bombs, that during a rain storm, when it thunders, he has to be physically restrained to keep him from running aimlessly in search of cover. From what I&#39;ve read, "shell shocked" children such as this are not uncommon in Iraq, thanks to those brave, brave men in the Pentagon.

On March 16, 1968, in Son My village in Vietnam (My Lai to the US), American soldiers hearded more then five hundred vietnamese civilians into ditches and machine gunned them as revenge for the Tet Offensive. There were many similar massacres in Vietnam but the My Lai massacre was what drew press attention to the American savagry in Vietnam because a few soldiers who were horrified about it leaked the story and images to the press. The types of severity of the atrocities the United States commited in Vietnam are truely unparalleled to any war but the Nazi&#39;s in eastern europe. A protest poster for the peace movement was made out of the photo adding the caption "Q. And babies? A. And babies. (http://marc.perkel.com/images/my-lai.jpg)

By the end of the war there were aproximately four million vietnamese civilians and one million vietnamese soldiers killed by the Americans, along with hundreds of thousands of Cambodian and Laotian civilians. Here is a more famous photo of the same event. (http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/mgolby/usembassynotroof.jpg)

Iraqi&#39;s in Fallujah bury people killed by the Americans on sunday, april 11, 2004. At least six hundred people, according to hospital records, were killed in the US offensive on Fallujah in April of 04. The resistance fighters were able to drive the American&#39;s back and protect the city until november of 04 when it was completely destroyed in a second attempt.



http://www.sueroffey.com/sydneypeace/girl-with-gun.jpg
This photo was taken in April of 04 by an Australian aid worker in Fallujah. You can read her account here (http://www.sueroffey.com/sydneypeace/falluja.html). She was briefly arrested by the Mujahadeen and released after they determined that she was just an aid worker:

“All our captors had brothers and fathers killed in Falluja in recent days, yet they showed no anger or retribution. They showed us their humanity. They were gentle and grateful for the work we were doing.”

Donna said the situation in Fallujah was reaching the point of an humanitarian crisis with many families stuck in the city with few supplies because US soldiers would not allow them to leave.

"Even during a so-called cease-fire, Fallujah was under siege with bombing, missiles and mortar attacks," she said.

“But the worst form of attack was the US snipers hiding on rooftops who kill hundreds of civilians as they tried to move about the city.”

Donna said she and her three colleagues were shot at by American soldiers four times while trying to transport an ambulance full of medical aid to a clinic.

“We were clearly unarmed civilian workers, we had our hands in the air, with our passports in our hands. We used a loud speaker to communicate with them, but they responded with gunfire.""

"My brother was killed and my brother’s son and my sister’s son. My other brother is in the prison at Abu Ghraib. I am the last one left. Can you imagine? And this morning my best friend was killed. He was wounded in the leg and lying in the street and the Americans came and cut his throat. "

“So you’re going to Fallujah? We’ve killed a whole bunch of ‘em there,” Sgt Trapner announced with pride. "

“I’m jealous you’re going to Fallujah where the action is,” another soldier added. “I was there for a while and killed a few of the mother-fuckers. I’d love to go back and kill some more&#33;"

"Good, we don’t want anymore of those bastards getting through,” a soldier said as he watched the ambulances turn away."

"My injured hand was shaking as I held my passport now damp with my blood. I tried to work out what I was feeling: fear, anger, determination. I still don’t know. We had only repeated the message twice and walked a few metres when our answer came.

Two more bullets. By this stage I think I entered a state of shock. I had been shot at, not once, but twice by American soldiers after politely asking permission to transport aid to a hospital."

"There were no rebel insurgents here, but there were old ladies, children, grandfathers, uncles and sons, forced to defend themselves from this massive military bombardment. One day they were peacefully tending to their crops, the next day they were having missiles destroy their land and their lives. These families didn’t have a chance."






A child injured by Americans in Iraq. The photo was widely distributed and is often cropped to just show the child&#39;s face or eyes (http://streetwhispers.com/2005-images/Iraqi%20child%204.jpg).



An Iraqi being held prisoner by the Americans comforts a child in a photo by Jean-Marc Bouju that won the 2004 World Press Photo competition. Bouju said of it that it "shows no guns, no soldiers, no blood, but still captures the horrors of war and the powerlessness of people caught in it.&#39;"

Children injured in the American bombing of Fallujah in November 2004.

When the United States tried to capture fallujah in April of 04 the Resistance held the city and embarrased the American&#39;s. Since they couldn&#39;t take it with conventional weapons they used illigal non-conventional weapons.

The American&#39;s napalmed Fallujah (http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=14920109&method=full&siteid=106694&headline=fallujah-napalmed-name_page.html). The United States is the only country to use napalm. They call them "mark 77 fire bombs" officially because the United Nations banned napalm bombs though both are polystyrene and jet fuel jelly with the same effects; the burning gel sticks to people&#39;s skin and can&#39;t be put out with water and burns off or melts their clothes and skin. The US also admitted to using napalm early in the war in Baghdadthe Pentagon claimed to have already destroyed its illigal Napalm stock piles (http://www.globalsecurity.org/org/news/2003/030810-napalm-iraq01.htm) An American commander interviewed about it explained "It&#39;s no great way to die. The generals love napalm. It has a big psychological effect." During the Vietnam war there was an outcry over the use of Napalm such as in the famous photo (http://www.lsg.musin.de/Geschichte/KK/Napalm-Kinder.gif) of burned Vietnamese children running from it.

Doctors in fallujah widely reported that the US used other chemical weapons (http://hhttp://www.islamonline.org/English/News/2004-11/10/article05.shtml) though the US military has denied it.





When the US began bombing fallujah in November one of the first things they did was to seize the main hospital (http://www.theage.com.au/news/Iraq/US-troops-seize-Fallujah-hospital/2004/11/08/1099781302248.html) and destroy the emergency hospitals (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3988433.stm) preventing any hope of medical aid to the cities victims and killing dozens of doctors and nurses and patients. These photos are from November 8th in Fallujah&#39;s hospital.

FALLUJAH, 24 May 2005
By the time the US army finally occupied Fallujah, 40% of the buildings were completely destroyed, 20% had major damage, and the remaining 40% were significantly damaged (http://www.truthout.org/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/38/9612), there were virtually no undamaged structures left. Of the 300,000 residents in Fallujah only 9000 remain in the city (http://www.truthout.org/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/38/9612), the rest of the survivors are displaced to refugee camps.

The US Army is imposing concentration camp conditions (http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/FL18Ak04.html) on the city and the refugee camps. All fallujans are being forced to wear ID tags on their clothing with their photographs, finger prints and iris scans. The Americans are perminantly closing all but five exits so that no one gets in who hasn&#39;t been photographed printed scanned and tagged. All cars are banned and fallujans need to be cleared by US intellegence as not being insurgents in order to work. The most sinister part of their arriangement is that fallujans are being put into military-style &#39;work brigades&#39; under US military command, really a sort of euphamism for a military type slave labor.

From Donna Mulhearn and Jo Wilding&#39;s accounts who worked as aid workers together, which can be found http://www.sueroffey.com/sydneypeace/falluja.html and http://www.opendemocracy.net/debates/article-2-95-1843.jsp respectively. Most of the quotes i used were from Donna Mulhearn but there is a lot of overlap because they talked to the same people.

We know no harm was intended by comrades but we were worried this was becoming a bit voyeurisitc and graphic.

Please don&#39;t post any more photographs of graphic violence. The pictures I have left should give you a guide as to what is and what isn&#39;t appropriate.

I don&#39;t know how you saw them since all the ones I posted were censored by the Admin and thus my intention with the thread neutered (one of the reasons I stopped posting photos).

And they&#39;re not powerful political photographs? You seem to have forgotten that it was pictures of dead babies and napalm-scarred children in Vietnam as much as anything else that turned many Americans against the war. The dead babies of Aghanistan, and the slain and cripples children of Iraq, if similarly counted and displayed to the American people (instead of ostensibly ignored by the U.S. media) would likely have a similar affect.


And also what the fuck is your game with the Iraqi snipers? Is it just me or do you seem happy to support those sons of *****es who are killing soldiers?

Oh, yes&#33; What were those Iraqis thinking defending their nation against an army of occupation? The gall&#33; :rolleyes: Your comments on the resistance clearly demonstrate both your lack of historical context and your nationalist bias which permeates your argument.

I&#39;m not even american you wank.....so this statement has no bearing.

fool
I also think that the americans shouldnt be there and shouldnt be killing Iraqis then i see no difference. I support neither side.

You seem to equate the 500-pound bombs and high-tech weapons used by the world&#39;s biggest superpower occupying Iraq (at the cost of &#036;7.8 billion ea/month) to the rocket-propelled grenades and roadside bombs of those resisting that occupation. One side aims to control Iraq to fulfill its grand plan to dominate the Middle East and its oil resources. The other merely seeks to defend their cities and the right of Iraqis to determine their own future.

Some 100,000 Iraqi civilians are now estimated dead (http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/10/300266.html) because of the war and occupation (this estimate did not even count excess deaths in Fallujah, which was deemed too dangerous to include). This followed the roughly 1.7 million Iraqis (http://www.tandl.vt.edu/Foundations/mediaproject/mediaprojecthtml/iraq12.html) who died from the deprivation caused by more than a decade of economic sanctions (1 million of these innocent victims were children under the age of 5). And this followed a death toll of up to 2,300 civilians in the 1991 Gulf War (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/gulf/appendix/death.html) and this figure not even taking into acount the 96,000 depleted-uranium shells we bombarded Iraq with which have left a legacy of cancers and deformed children there.

Choosing sides should not be difficult. The sheer magnitude of the death and destruction inflicted by the U.S. upon ordinary Iraqis should dispel your little myth that the two sides in this war deserve equal condemnation. Anyone with even a cursory sense of humanity or justice should be cheering the resistance on.

As a middle ground I unlike TAT or whoever will not delete anything but if you don&#39;t choose to post the most gruesome pics as links rather than images and give people the choice then I will as a normal member of this forum report you.

Some people are at work/school and the disclaimer of &#39;Graphic Images&#39; as a sub-heading isn&#39;t good enough. You should put a disclaimer on each of the more gruesome images you wish to post and post them as links not images. That way you are not being censored in that what you want to post can still be viewed but this time in a more considerate way to others at their own choice.

I suppose real powerful political photographs are not allowed on this forum, perhaps you&#39;d prefer that I instead post less "gross" things like fluffy bunnies and kitten calenders.. Unfortunately for you, this is also a "Powerful Political Photographs" thread. If you don&#39;t like the idea of the thread, don&#39;t post, and don&#39;t click on the thread.

That&#39;s not what I said I said sickening don&#39;t quote me out of context&#33;

I converted the pic of the leg first and and wrote the description then copied it and pasted it for the others modifying it slightly.

I don&#39;t deny that they are graphic images, this was never my contention. The problem is the captions you included weren&#39;t exactly impartial, to put it mildly. "If you want to look at something sickening" is rather pejorative. You could have simply cautioned users that they were indeed graphic in nature and that&#39;d be the end of it. For someone to rattle on and on about what&#39;s mature to me after doing something like that is like being told by the Hunchback of Notre Dame to stand up straight.

You seem to equate the 500-pound bombs and high-tech weapons used by the world&#39;s biggest superpower occupying Iraq (at the cost of &#036;7.8 billion ea/month) to the rocket-propelled grenades and roadside bombs of those resisting that occupation
Both kill and maim, dont matter to the victim whether the thing used to kill them or maim them cost 500 dollars or 5. What makes the pictures you post of mutalited kids and iraqi civilians more vile than images of mutaliated soldiers? Why do you value their lives and suffering above others?


Choosing sides should not be difficult. The sheer magnitude of the death and destruction inflicted by the U.S. upon ordinary Iraqis should dispel your little myth that the two sides in this war deserve equal condemnation. Anyone with even a cursory sense of humanity or justice should be cheering the resistance on.
Why the fuck do I have to choose sides again? To support either a vile imperalistic regime or a bunch of terrorists who also wish to institue a regime of their own brand....

It is ridiculous that you insist on painting them as all religious fanatics. The fact of the matter is we don’t know who most of them are and what they really stand for beyond opposition to the occupation. So stop trying to oversimplify a homegrown, multi-layered movement of many Iraqi groups taking directions from members of their respective communities into all being religious fanatics because that&#39;s total hogwash. One opponent "maims and kills" to subjugate, oppress and fulfill its plan to dominate the Middle East and its oil resources, the other "maims and kills" to defend their cities and homes against an army of occupation (apparently you can&#39;t make this designation). I&#39;m afraid I have nothing more to say to a lover of imperialism like you who denies Iraq&#39;s legitimate right to defend their nation against occupation.

What makes the pictures you post of mutalited kids and iraqi civilians more vile than images of mutaliated soldiers? Why do you value their lives and suffering above others?

Soldiers understand that the very nature of their occupation involves activities that could result in their injury, death, or mutilation. They are trained knowing this, and the thought that you could die never neglects to cross a soldier&#39;s mind.

Children, however, did not choose to involve themselves in the situation. They are innocent bystanders who can barely fathom the situation they have been placed in.

I forgot that guy&#39;s name. I think its Carlos something. I saw a few stickers in Edinburgh at the G8 summit with that picture saying "we shall have our revenge"
his name is carlo giuliani. lost in the genoa G8.

"Carlo Giuliani, a 23-year-old Italian activist and poet, was killed during the demonstrations against the Group of Eight summit that was held in Genoa, Italy from July 19 to July 21, 2001.

He was killed on July 20, during a clash between demonstrators and Italian Carabinieri (military police). The police were in a jeep and were engaged in a conflict with protesters; police were lobbing tear gas while demonstrators were throwing stones. Carlo Giuliani was holding a fire extinguisher and some photos ([1], [2], [3], [4]) suggest that he intended to throw it at the police jeep. Carlo Giuliani was shot in the face, and the police jeep then ran over his body twice.


Giuliani in the streets of Genoa less than an hour before his death.All charges against the police officer who allegedly shot him (Mario Placanica) have been dropped, the commission of inquiry concluding that the fatal bullet that struck Giuliani was deflected by a stone in mid-air. This conclusion was the subject of strong criticism, as was the decision not to charge the driver of the jeep on the basis that Giulani was already dead when ran over; medics tending to Giulani after he was run over testified that his heart was still beating. [5] Had it been concluded that Placanica shot Giuliani in self-defense, a trial would have been necessary, but the conclusion that the bullet was not fired directly at Giuliani removed the need for any trial.

A number of questions about Giuliani&#39;s death remain unanswered, particularly after Placanica told the media in 2003 that "I&#39;ve been used to cover up the responsibility of others." After making this statement, Placanica was involved in a "suspicious" car accident, days after allegedly observing someone tampering with his car. [6] Placanica was also allegedly kept in seclusion following the incident, and his parents were not allowed to visit him in the hospital. [7]


Condolences and Tributes to Giuliani at the Site of his ShootingThe plaza where he was shot, Piazza Alimonda, was unofficially renamed "Piazza Carlo Giuliani" by activists, who erected a memorial there for mementos, photographs, writings and flowers. This memorial has since been burned twice by unknown vandals. Another plaza, in Bern, Switzerland, has also been named "Carlo-Giuliani Platz" in memoriam; the renaming took place during a memorial art exhibition called The Geometries of Memory."

Educate Me.
The Civil War was a long time coming, as the conditions for peasants/poor never improved economically or otherwise throughout the century. During the late sixties/early seventies, peaceful protests were met with military force and Death Squads were created by the oligarchy to eliminate the opposition, eventually militarizing the "left". Several organizations eventually merged to become the FMLN, Marxist guerillas. After the Cuban Revolution and the Sandinistas coming into power in Nicaragua during the Cold War, the U&#036; refused to let El Salvador topple to the left as well. Although an insignificant nation as small as Massachusetts, 75,000 people were murdered out of 5 million (approx. 500 deaths/mos.) during the 12 years of war.

Although I agree that the war in Vietnam was unfounded and pointless, you have no right to disrespect someone who experienced the harrows of war. Just because someone is called to service against his will does not mean that you can accuse him of being a "dick-head" regardless of weather or not he supports a government that does not function, you must respect him for his beliefs. We expect respect from others, so me must respect those who we disagree with. Just because we believe they are wrong does not mean you can cowardly call him an "asshole" when he fought in a war that, at the time, was marketed as a fight to protect the rights of the people of the USA. That was a lie, but you can&#39;t blame him for fighting for what he believes in. Vets are scarred for life after combat. Flashbacks, nightmares, and other horrifying things you CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO COMPREHEND, these all come with fighting a war (with just cause or not). When someone "turns their back" on those things, when someone shows that they don&#39;t care about what that vet did, what he was scarred for live over, you have no right to disrespect him in ANY way.

There were many German soldiers in World War 2 who were fervent believers in fascism and willingly sacrificed themselves for an ideology which cost tens of millions of lives, lead to the death camps and devastated the continent of Europe. They thought what they were doing was right too.

Are all these people heroes or completely absolved simply because they possessed an ardent belief in their mission or ideology?

The equivalent of Germans who did what they could to not get stationed at the Death Camps, cursed Hitler, but still fought in his wars. Tough situation, buddy, but you’re on the wrong side.

Thanks, google image search is great&#33; :lol:

Yes, last year Schafik Handal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schafik_Handal) ran for presidency, but didn&#39;t make it for who-knows-what reasons. The U&#036; has had their grubby hands all over the country, so it could be tied to corruption or not. The link above mentions that the ARENA (conservative) party is practically the puppet of the U&#036;, and high ranking American officials said that American relations would be affected if Handal won, and ARENA stated that Salvadorans in the U&#036; could be deported if Handal were to win.

Well, its a difficult transition to go from a militant force to a political party. Salvadorans still call the FMLN "el frente" or "the front" so I dont know what political legitamacy they hold. Although the fact that they were fighting for the people of El Salvador during the war favors them, but those who are traumatized by the war and violence probably do not see them in a positive light either. So, it hurts them, but also helps them in some form. Corruption has infiltrated the FMLN party as well, so the name "FMLN" is being ruined by its transition. There has also been a surge of other political parties popping up since the peace accords were signed in 1992. So the "leftist" or "democratic" vote is being split up by various new parties, and the ARENA/conservative vote has stayed solid.

No, I don&#39;t have any pic&#39;s of the Columbian conflict. I suggest you do a Google Image search, as I mentioned above...

In 1993 Kevin Carter headed north of the border with Silva to photograph the rebel movement in famine-stricken Sudan. To make the trip, Carter had taken a leave from the Weekly Mail and borrowed money for the air fare. Immediately after their plane touched down in the village of Ayod, Carter began snapping photos of famine victims. Seeking relief from the sight of masses of people starving to death, he wandered into the open bush. He heard a soft, high-pitched whimpering and saw a tiny girl trying to make her way to the feeding centre. As he crouched to photograph her, a vulture landed in view. Careful not to disturb the bird, he positioned himself for the best possible image. He would later say he waited about 20 minutes, hoping the vulture would spread its wings. It did not, and after he took his photographs, he chased the bird away and watched as the little girl resumed her struggle. Afterward he sat under a tree, lit a cigarette, talked to God and cried. "He was depressed afterward," Silva recalls. "He kept saying he wanted to hug his daughter."

The photographer killed himself a year later.

Extract from Kenin Carters suicide note

I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen... The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist.

Children killed:

http://www.ifamericansknew.org/images/children.gif

118 Israeli children (http://www.ifamericansknew.org/stats/children.html#source) have been killed by Palestinians and 680 Palestinian (http://www.ifamericansknew.org/stats/children.html#source) children have been killed by Israelis since September 29, 2000.
For every 1 Israeli child that has died, 5.76 Palestinian children died.
1:5.76


Children Killed Reported, by NBC/ABC/CBS:

http://www.ifamericansknew.org/images/net-fig15.gifhttp://www.ifamericansknew.org/images/net-fig16.gif
http://www.ifamericansknew.org/images/net-fig17.gif

In 2004, ABC, CBS, and NBC news reporting on Palestinian children’s deaths followed virtually the same line as Israeli children’s deaths, in stark contradiction to the reality, in which Palestinian children were being killed at a rate 22 times greater than Israeli children.


Children Killed Reported, by NY Times:

http://www.ifamericansknew.org/images/nyt-fig10.gif

The New York Times reported the death rates of Israeli and Palestinian children almost identically despite the fact that almost five times more Palestinian children were actually being killed.

Children Killed Reported, by SF Chronicle:

http://www.ifamericansknew.org/images/chron-fig6.gif

The San Francisco Chronicle reported 150% of Israeli children’s deaths and only 5% of Palestinian children’s deaths in headlines and/or lead paragraphs.

Israeli Aggression Against Palestinian Children

Mohammad Al-Durra (12 years Old), shot along with his father and killed.
His last words-"Don&#39;t worry daddy, the ambulance will come and save us." (TIME magaizine, Oct. 16 issue-US edition)

http://www.marmarita.com/occupation/Mohammad1.jpg

http://www.marmarita.com/occupation/Mohammad2.jpg

http://www.marmarita.com/occupation/Mohammad3.jpg

http://www.marmarita.com/occupation/Mohammad6.jpg

Pictures that shook the world; Mohammad al-Durra, 12 year old, died huddled in his father&#39;s arms&#39; caught in a hail of Israeli bullets and captured by a viewfinder of a television camera in a shocking scene viewed all over the world. Amid a welter of brutal scenes from street battles that have swept the West Bank and Gaza Strip since September 28, 2000, the boy&#39;s death was a singularly horrific one.

Television footage shot by French TV during Saturday&#39;s pitched battle outside the heavily guarded Israeli settlement of Netzarim showed Mohammed clinging to his father, Jamal, and screaming in terror as a sustained burst of gunfire raked a concrete wall behind them. As the two huddled behind a tiny abutment, the father vainly stretched a protective arm in front of his son. Most stations that aired the footage cut away before the stricken boy could be seen slumping over, loosing his grip on the father, who himself twitched convulsively as he was struck by round after round.

Saying that all the troops in Iraq tortured Iraqis is completely foolish. You should not base your opinion of a group on people based on the actions of a few that belong to that group. You shouldn&#39;t support those who do torture, it would be stupid to not support the troops who have done no torturing. There may be a few comrades in the military, you&#39;d never know. The point is that what you&#39;ve done the same as Adolf Hitler, he based his opinion of the entire Jewish population on the actions of a few.

Bahaha. You cannot support the sword of Imperialism and call yourself a Communist.

Everyone in the military is guilty of supporting Imperialism and defending to the death Capitalism. Most of the soldiers in Iraq have killed, and nearly every Iraqi is innocent and is guilty of no crime whatsoever, so if you&#39;ve killed most ANYONE in Iraq, you&#39;ve killed innocents.

Sure, but you could also apply this logic to scabs, low level thugs etc. I can understand their position, but we shouldn&#39;t encourage this, instead encourage class solidarity. As long as the workingclass exists, we will be in constant despair for money, for the sake of class struggle, we simply can&#39;t afford to encourage troops, scabs, thugs and others who are out to destroy class solidarity.

I support the troops only from the stand point that I wish no more get killed. Bring them home is supporting them&#33; Watch Farhenhight 911. Mike Moore shows that the military is the only way out for many people. This is a poor man&#39;s military. The true imperialist are in the back room beating off to a picture of donald trump.

I agree war is really stupid but sometimes it is truly necessary, if war was never an option the jews and many others may not be here today. On another note i agree with QuestionAuthority in the fact that a lot of the freedom fighters in Iraq are but brainwashed young adults taken from home and forced to fight for "Allah." If America does leave, Iraq will either become a theocracy much like Iran, another fascist dictatorship or a country like that of Somalia. I don&#39;t support the evils of war especially not the evils of the Iraq war, but sometimes it&#39;s gotta happen.

This is true. I should have elaborated, as I meant wars such as the Iran-Iraq war and WWI and currently the Iraq war. Wars such as World War I that were caused merely because the nations wanted a war is the most stupid and foolish thing to do. The generals of WWI should have been executed for their disregard for human life. Same goes for the Iran-Iraq war.

And the New York Times gives this title to the bombing campaign that injured this child: "Israel Orders Army to Quell Rocket Fire (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/26/international/middleeast/26mideast.html)" (So according to the New York Times, this child was firing rockets into Israel, and needed to be punished.)

Non sectarain bastard, in your last post, are you talking to me? If so, a foot soldier(not an officer or a general) is an explotied member of the proletarian.

Yeah, talking to you. Sure, a soldier is exploited. But low level thugs, scabs and even cops are exploited . Even rapists rape to compensate their powerlesness in this hierachial society.

We are exploited and supressed. Therefor we should do everything we can to fight against our exploitation. Scabs, cops, soldiers and rapists are reactionairy to the class struggle and our unity. You can&#39;t both support the class struggle and those whose porpuse it&#39;s to destroy it. Cut the hypocricy please.


They are so explotied, they are ordered to shoot people. To dis them is to dis working class emancipation.

Yes, but being ordered something doesn&#39;t mean that you have to follow it up. You are a human being, not a sheep.

Simply, because they are part of the workingclass, doesn&#39;t mean that they are part of the class struggle. Gangs who terrorize our neighboorhoods, are workingclass too, but in no way are they part of the class struggle.

Too bad the soldiers are the ones who pulled the trigger.

Really, though, your argument has no logical basis. They weren&#39;t forced to fight, they weren&#39;t drafted, they CHOSE TO KILL. Hell, the Nazis were brainwashed, does that mean we give &#39;em a pass? No, death to Opressors, in this case, US Soldiers.

But these posters are from June 2004, so you can change that text on the bottom to say "30,000+ Iraqis dead, 1,590 US Soldiers Dead"


Though I hear it&#39;s more likely to be anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 Iraqis and 10,000 US Soldiers.

If you don&#39;t die in country (eg: flown to hospice and died in Germany) then you aren&#39;t a casualty. PR/Morale Bullshit.
