War is Hell! (none / 0)

Anybody who's opposed to war -- in the abstract -- needs to see these war photos to understand war's REAL consequences.

View the photos and let them become etched into your conscience, I say.

BUSCHCO and the NEOCONS have succeeded so far in concealing the REAL images of war from the compliant American public, who STILL seem more interested in the Kobe Bryant trial than what's happening in Iraq.

I say those of us who are opposed to this war should insist that these and all the other photos which document the suffering of innocents should be shamelessly broadcast far and wide, so that even those who "support" this war should know the conseqences of their inattention.

If this country is really committed to supporting non-defensive, imperialist war...this country needs to know what war if really about.

"War is HELL, said The very brutal American Civil War general Willim T. Sherman.  He also said, (referring to the photographs of Civil War Photographer Wm. Brady,) "The scenes on this field would have cured anybody of war."

More graphic photos, please!

A picture is worth a thousand words, afterall.

Give me a break... (none / 0)

As I said above... forcing people to view these pictures (as was essentially done when they were posted on the front page of MYDD) is not appropriate, and Chris was right to remove them only to the comments section... I appreciate that.

Again, and as I said above, people visiting this site are already convinced that the war is "bad", and the graphic photos on the front were an affront to decency (I think), and serve no real purpose but to "shock".  On MyDD, you're preaching to the choir.  

A similar argument... I'm a vegetarian, and I don't need to view gruesome photos of cows being slaughtered while I eat my vegetables in order to "etch 'the images' into my conscience"...  That would make me puke, and wouldn't do anything to change the actions I already take (avoid eating meat)...  It would only serve to spoil my dinner.

Invest in nature
