Open your eyes
by Volker Weber
After looking at these pictures I could not help but wonder how many insurgents we would see in the US, if their country would be liberated.

As horrible as these images are.... they are real live for many many people.
It's a shame the west's news channels do not show images like these - people no longer understand what headlines like "3 Americans and 10 Iraqi's were killed today - Making peoples lives worthless.
Even if the news channels don't show these pictures, they are still available on the net... at least those who want to see them, can see them.
It saddens my soul to see all those shot up children...
As sad as this is, remember there are worse things than war. One particularly gruesome finding in Iraq was a children's mass grave, presumably the children of executed Iraqis. Some of them still had their stuffed animals. If this war brings and end to such things, and it will, it is a good war.
A good war?
I've thought about your response for several days now. I have to say that a "good war" is a war that results in an improvement in the state of the losing side. Sure people die, but people died in Saddam Hussein's Iraq anyway. Those people are no less dead for having died at the hands of their own government. Are the Iraqis better off without Saddam? I believe so, although there are those who disagree.
Other good wars: WWII, Grenada, the cold war (aka WWIII)
Bad wars: Vietnam, Korea, WWI, all the Israeli wars
I see that all the bad wars had a negotiated peace, while all the good wars were fought to completion. This may not hold up, but it is an interesting trend.
Paul, I don't think we can agree. There is no such thing as a good war. There are a lot of people alive here, who have lived through a war (in their own country) and I have still have to find a single person who thinks that there is a good war. I know that the US is different. You can "declare war on" on something and it has a good meaning. Please understand, that the world is not the same everywhere.
i have a question not a comment. can you tell me some significant events that the caribbean gave to world war II? or what the caribbean nations were involved with during world war II? or just some sites for me to go to. Thanx
