"About a photo, about Iraq"



"Now that the U.S. -- desperate to protect the Green Zone, and avoid a Saigon-style evacuation -- is actively bombing Sadr City, what is the difference between what the Americans are doing now, and what the Israeli's did in Qana during the '06 Lebanon war

Above is yesterday's photo of two-year-old Ali Hussein, pulled from the bombed rubble of his home, who died shortly after in the hospital. It's the shot which could have, would have and otherwise should have woken up all the sheep and cast a fiery and pin-pointed attention on the urban carnage inflicted on an overcrowded, poverty-stricken, urban Baghdad slum by U.S. fighter bombers."

1. Please put a graphic warning on the post
It's a telling picture, but you should warn people.

2. I disagree. They should be shocked if they don't see Iraq + photo
and imagine something like this without being warned.

3. It was shown on ABC News last night. Why would somebody find it 'shocking' or 'offensive'? This is
what we do daily in Iraq.
